Why change the tyres ? They still go round n round and touch the ground ? Because motorcycle tyres are not designed to take the side loading imposed when a car is cornering. That just doesn't happen on a bike. Apart from being round and black, car and bike tyres have very little in common.They are totally different in construction. |

Yeah, it didn't have them when he first built it, (this is the guy who saw mine at the drags in 2013 & went home & copied it). It's also now got dual rear wheels. Apart from the obvious safety issues, (imagine turning up at the SVA station with bike tyres on a car), it just looks so wrong to me. Otherwise, a tidy build.

Thanks Archie. You've probably had them longer than I have now! Just shout when you need them out of the way. Not too far away from putting them back in now.

Removed the rear mudguard struts & modified them to clear the brake pipes, then took them over to the powder-coaters, along with the modified battery box.
