Where would I get such a pair of wheels to mount those beauties upon? My bolt pattern is 5 X 4.75.

Check out this video:



I can actually get the inside tire to slide a bit. You can hear it if you listen closely.

Hey Bill, just had a listen/watch of your video and was wondering if the real estate prices have been dropping in your area?! :whistle:

I hear you saying that I need to spend some more time on the exhaust system.
You're probably right.

Short glass pack on the end ;) That sounds just like an old Triumph Bonneville to me, but then I guess it would as it's the same engine configuration :)
Looking good :cheer: Yeah chrome plated wheels would look good at the rear.

I've been working on my trike between sessions of shoveling snow. I fitted a pair of Rocket brand mag wheels with some F-465 tires. They're the same size as the tires on an old VW Beetle. I've also fabed up some guards to keep the operators feet from beneath the rear tires.
I'm hoping that the copper fenders will tarnish to match the stock brown paint job.

Tell us about the fenders Bill. They look to be copper? Interesting.
