With a 240 on the back, this didn't belong in the "performance" section. Not really "other bike", or "General", either...so plopping this here.

Click on the picture and see what he's done. Must be a mod to the swingarm, and I'd presume a spacer for the drive pulley. Modded front fender. And a couple other tidbits. But on this silver Tbird, I LOVE the spoked wheels.

That's pretty cool but a bit too expensive as well right? What I heard do we talk about 4500 EUR!

i guess it looks good.
I feel wire wheels are a thing of the past.
maybe I just love the stock wheels on the bird so I could be a touch biased

I was actually surprised that i liked it. But i'm with sunnyday one this one. I'd never go that route for more reasons than i have time to cite, and i have lots of time on my hands. But again, i will admit they look better than i thought they would, tho i still prefer the cast look.

Looks brilliant, just works on a Bird! Hats off to whoever thought of this but 4500 Euros? Sorry, the budget doesn't stretch to that. I have just enough for beer.....

A nice but expensive alternative for those with chrome wheels that finally fail on them. Looks almost factory quality. Learn from this Triumph!
