Has anyone heard of or thought fitting a smaller diameter rim to a TBird to achieve a Bobber look?
I Love the T Bird and have toyed with the idea of customizing it by fitting straight spoked rims to the bike with a fat, large profile tyre to the front, with a smaller diameter rim, say 16 inch to both front and rear , with a rolling diameter the same as a stock T Bird.
The rear as you all know is 200mm, there appears to be adequate room between the forks on the front to fit the same there, apart from having to customise a new mud guard.
So the question is, Does anyone know of anyone that makes custom rims to suit a Tbird preferably in Australia? or know of anyone that has completed this mod already?
Cheers

Big fat tires on different wheels and big fenders. I can't recall what type of wheels, because to me the whole thing looks God awful and I've repressed the memory, but it might be what you are after.
