Mick, 'scuse the ignorance but does the fact that the car wheel does not have a even distribution of weight across it's width not affect the balance and handling ...especially at speed?

no this is the third car wheel conversion i've done

actually they can be quite good fun to ride

err.. I do not understand the consept.. what you're going to do with this alloy wheel ?

edit: saw the pics on the 2nd page. why wuld you use a car wheel when there plenty of single swingarm bikes with donor wheels ? the're sprobably axle diameter/weight/clearance... issue tot ake care of with a car wheel that would be easier with a bike wheel ?

but it looks good, and it's probably more interesting to built.

Do you have to get it approved and get a new logbook ?

As much as I love streetfighters, that's a fierce clean Blade

yep, very clean and all.

I also thought that streetfighter were built from "damaged" bikes.

Well Done Mick!

Can't beleive you made such a clean looking Bike, got all the spacing etc correct and sorted, in such a quick time.

Is there a Beefier front end on the cards? Match in with the Rear end a bit more?

Really well done
