I'm sitting here still in sticker shock. I just went to a Harley dealer allset to order a set of shiney new spoked wheels. With tires that was $450each. It's time to re-group and start searching the junk yards. I calledBuchanens in CA. for their list. Does anybody know a reasonable source forwheels?Dick Navratil________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2000 20:31:59 -0500

I had the wheel at Sun n Fun . I built it myself from a Yamaha 650 19"wheel. Splitting the casing and insertingthe spacer gave me a 7" widewheel. My appologies to anyone who I promised information to. Work Hasbeen a killer lately. For anyone who wants details, I will send photos anddetails if you will send me addresses. The wheels are on the axel now andI may put the tires on tonight yet. I did my own spoke lacing and all. Ihave about $225 invested including wheels, spokes , new tubes and axel .Dick Navratil________________________________________________________________________________
