Have you used the 16 rear yet? I also have one and have been considering
putting it on something.....how is the handling/ride?

I got hincky about the front tire on the rear so I got a 16 inch rear rim. now I have a wide (no pun intended) selection of real rear tires (Harley size). Personally I think the loopframes look like crap with whitewalls - I don't think anyone should even consider putting them on and disgracing a fine old bike, stick to black! :) Bill Kerylow 73 eldo ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want.http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics |
