I have a 65 Ironhead with a 75 35mm frontend and want to install a drum hub wheel up front. I know these fit on the 33mm frontends, but was wondering if theres a way to install on 35mm forks....?

Gotta post an intro man. And use the search function before posting unless you wanna get your post possibly deleted.

To answer your question the integral drum set up came on 35mm front ends as well. Easy way is to swap out disc sliders for drum sliders if you can get ahold of them. Or shave your sliders and weld on the proper tab for the brake stay/cable adjuster. Good luck.

Here is a Hallcraft mounted to one ,,just make a brake stay arm off one of the caliper mounts

Then you may be completely screwed

you can maybe do a type of band clamp around the leg ( look at pre unit Triumph forks ) and go from there ,,though then you get into how it looks issues

Just weld a tab on for it, mine is set up this way and works just fine.

Not a very well engineered set up. stay should be at about 11 oclock
not 2 oclock.

This is what works for the brake on this drum,,the old springer set up is like you describe and then there is this. Also I would think having it up higher like you say would cause the braking to push backward against the top side of the fork leg

but I am by far no brake expert

Honda drum laced to 21" on late 70s HD showa 35mm forks. This is just one way to skin a cat.

1. Stock HD axle, turned down on lathe on one side to fit the stock 6203 bearings.
2. Make a spacer/sleeve for one side.
3. Steel anchor from stock bung on drum to one of the caliper mounts on the fork leg (tension, not compression). You might notice that the legs are actually flipped around to locate the caliper tab in front. I did this to make the cable routing more convenient.
4. make or buy a cable that works.

As for your shaved legs, just get a new one, or maybe swap someone one shaved for one unshaved leg, then you both win.
