Glad somebody's reading the book (or at least looking at the pics!).
They specified those rims for a time so they could use tires from
their Harley stock (they were still running Harleys, too).
Also, some dealers (Drager's, I think) sold kits of Borani 16-inch
rims for Eldos. I have seen several so equiped, front and rear.

According to the side bar on the photo the CHP Eldo's had 16" rear rims as a spec. The rim looks like a harley style. I guess the CHP had some equipment calibrated to a 16 inch rear rim or they put that in their spec to favor HD in contract bids. I know allot of police forces in the 40's put in their spec that the bikes had to have a left hand throttle, if they wanted Indian to win the police contract. Anyway if anyone wants a copy of the photo, let me know and I can scan it and email it to you.
