18" front wheel, aftermarket wheel, which will greatly fund your retirement when u sell it.

If you look at his avatar, it's been triked. So I figured that the front wheel has been changed to an aftermarket. Will that not upset the speedo ?
Only if the outside diameter of the replacement rubber is larger than the OEM. Or it might just take up the slack for the 5 or was it 10 % that the speedo is out by. |

18" wheel that looks similar to a Valk comes from a Honda Shadow Sabre model.

Depends on the tire size. You can put a narrower or lower aspect ratio tire on a larger diameter rim and end up with close to the same overall diameter. A slightly larger diameter would actually make the speedo more accurate, as with an OEM-sized front wheel/tire, the speedo reads faster than actual speed. |

Not w/o a lot of revising as the Sabre has a single disc brake set up.
