BMW Airhead Lace Wheel Conversion R60, R75, R80, R90 - 1970-1984 (replaces rear drum)

Rear Drum-to-Disc Brake Conversion Wheel — BMW Airhead 1970–1985

This complete rear wheel is designed to convert BMW dual-shock Airhead models from a rear drum brake setup to a rear disc brake setup using a Brembo P32 or P34 caliper.

To add this wheel to your cart, please use the configurator below to select your wheel options.

This wheel is built around our billet drum-to-disc conversion hub and is designed for BMW R45, R60, R65, R75, R80, R90, and select R100 models from 1970–1985. It replaces the stock rear drum wheel and allows you to run a rear disc brake setup while retaining the original BMW final drive spline coupling.

The factory tapered bearing arrangement has been eliminated and replaced with modern sealed bearings, which are included. The original spline coupling, also known as the drive dog, from your stock wheel must be reused. Simply drill out the factory rivets and install it onto the new hub using the supplied replacement mounting bolts.

Note for 1970–1973 models:

Early-style drive dogs must either be drilled to accept an M6 screw, or replaced with OEM part number 36 31 1 236 208, available here. The 36 31 1 236 208 drive dog was used on later R100 models and has a larger bolt pattern. This hub has been drilled and tapped to accept both the stock drive dog and the larger R100 drive dog.
