Car wheel conversion

Then ignor the thread mate, simple!!!

 

Get rid of that sig, it's all a bunch of pep boy mods. Until you can bring some genuine style, think about the folks that keep it real. Peace.

Many thanks for those kind words mate. If someone hadnt shown the world a light bulb then we would all be reading this in candle light. That said, if you prefir candle light then thats cool too.

Its just a 'how to' take it or leave it, its not an issue. I just thought it might be interesting to some of the lads on here.

 

when i first saw the thread, i thought you was going to put a car tire on the motorcycle rim. a guy at work did that to a honda shadow and loves it, but i never thought about putting a car wheel on a motorcycle. Pretty cool dude.

 

Thanks mate, there are hundreds to choose from too. some that look very much like the VFR 800 wheel.

 

are you an engineer by trade or do you just dabble in it? I think the wheel mod is cool..I guess I was expecting to see a wider wheel .LOL. looks good.. maybe a tip for the brake line mod...drill the hole out a bit bigger and slap a rubber grommet into it... I dunno, it would give me piece of mind about the rubbing

 

No mate, not an engineer. I research as much information as I can find on a given subject, then have a go. While I'm doing it document everything so others may use the information and try it for themselves.

I think you might be right about the gromet, I go back and take another look.

Thanks for the positive imput mate.

 

You sir are a sick genius! Out of curiousity what do you do for a living?

Nice work! I've seen the brake line mod and it's definitely on my to-do list.

That rear wheel looks incredible on your bike, nice job. :thumb:

 

Thanks lads for those kind words.

Right on. Nice write ups. Thanks for sharing.

 

I have a feeling you would be a fun person to have a beer with.

Thanks mate.

 

I like a laugh mate, and rallys, shows and events are always an oppetunity to meet up with friends have a good time and chuck a few down your neck. So long as you dont have to ride home same day fella.

 

Me too. Well done.

 

A very cool bike and it looks great.

Just one question.

I can see how you maintain the clearance between from the swing arm using the spacer, but won't this modification move the centre of the tire away from the centre line of the bike?

 

did i miss something, where is the pic of the tire on the bike?

 

mike warren, is that you ??

the whole idea is barmy and detracts from the bike's cornering ability !!
