Thanks for your kind words.
Tires:
The front tire is there by choice, so; yes. ( 3 x 21" AVON SPEEDMASTER Mark II)
The rear is just what happened to come with the wheel (off a Suzuki T500).
Haven't decided yet what to run there.
Suggestions are welcomed.

It's magic! Thanks Rocky ! ..it's a lot of work and a bit of magic I like Avon, tires that is. It doesn't look like they make a 17" Speedmaster. Nope. Thanks for the links Calkins ! I think I'll go for the Continental TKV 12, 130/90 V17  I agree it's absolutely beautiful Rchop, that is one bitchen look engine, nice work. Thanks Rchop and Glen ! Now that makes a protrubance in an old scooter tramps britches! I have no idea what that means, but thanks .-) I'll see you on the Salt! Go fast, but safe. Crow See you there ! Will do. |

In this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df8XVdKbiLAJohn Buddenbaum says that he uses the Front Runners on his Buddfab streamliner. He went 150mph with it. |

I'm sure they are fine tires ...for going reallyreallyreallyreally fast. I only plan on going reallyfast..-like. I could very well be wrong but, I think I'll be better of with a tire with a tad more bite/traction, at the expense of (in my case unnecessary) ultra high speed-rating or....? a bump in the front of his trousers below his belt Ohh gawd!...hernia .-) Thanks SockJohn |
