Thank you for the details, Kevin! This is something that I would like to do. I have two sets of XS650 wire wheels for my SR500 cafe racer build, so I have a spare set. If I could make this conversion ‘ easily’, I will look into the machinist who could make the spacers I would need. I just bought new tires for the stock wheels when I was told converting to wire wheels was not possible. My conflict is that I like the chaincase because it makes sense to me, is unusual, and is one of the reasons that I bought the bike in the first place. Retaining the chaincase and converting to wire wheels may be too complicated for my skill set. I will continue to clean up and fix up this as a daily runner. I do not intend to do a full restoration.
