Two Wheeled Type IV project pics. The project begins starting from the rear wheel and working forward! I'm building up a WIDE 240/50VR-16 tire /wheel combo, steel wheel powder coated black spoked to a Honda CB750 rear hub. It's custom but cheapo way to make a kickass rear wheel. I trued the wheeel with this computerized torque wrench I made with strain gages.
Soon the engine/tranny will have a swingarm attached to it with custom wheel and tire!

MAX WIDE Road Rubber - Metzler 240/50VR-16 arrived today (12-05-07)!
Need to press in new rear wheel bearings then "muscle on the Metzler!
I used my extra 914 Diamond Wheel Rim to hold the bike wheel during tire mounting, Note the plastic tubing I lined the rim with to protect the powder coat on the bike wheel.Made 2 custom tire irons to aid in tire mounting process.... need to make one more with a little longer lever..... a tire this size will take 2 guys and 3 irons!


Mounted! What a great feeling!
Stock starter needs to be replaced with something a bit smaller! Thanks to "okieflyr" Like this! --->

North on Route 28!, First day in the rain after the rebuild., Took another pic of me and blackie after the sun came back out. The engine bay photo was taken just before painting - I Rebuilt the stock 1972 1.7L Djet. All work on this restore; frame, body, suspension, and engine was done by hand - by me! Blackie is waiting inline for a rebuilt carbed 2.0L.
