I am running 72's with no problem; I had to change because my 60's were
rubbing on the front drum. I put the 60's on an early 59' with disks
with no problem. Must be the front drums on the BN4.

I've been told that the 72 spokers will not work with the drum brakes on
a
BN4. Even the 60's are a tight fit. Check the clearance before you
buy.
