Speed Rated Tires for Harley Sportster

[mc2032]

First i want to thank everyone for their input/advice!  Second, i was surfing the web (isn't the world wide web wonderful) during lunch today and stumbled across Dunlop D208 ZR rated tires, 130/70ZR-16.  I have an email sent to the web page to see if in fact these tires do exist.  If so, i can get speed rated tires for my 16" rear wheel and a matching tire for the front, they list a 110 wide vs the stock 90 width, but i think it (the front tire) should fit within the forks.  I was kinda sweating it, trying to locate a wheel that would accept my rotor and sprockets as well as not requiring to much modification to the swing arm, or having to find a wheel then mix and match tires.  So, i am keeping my fingers crossed.

thought i'd share this picture.  pretty neat, huh?



opened a photobucket account, uploaded two test pictures.  clicked on the "image" link on the right side of the page, it turned yellow and showed "copied", surfed back to landracing, opened a reply, clicked paste, just that easy.  why did i think it was gonna be an ordeal!

Isn't that an example of what's called "a good launch"?

[mc2032]

you are right slim, it isn't an example of a good launch.
this set of tires is ten years old and doesn't show hardly any wear at all.

Where can someone get a hover mode device like the one on that bike?

i am posting these pictures here because technically this is not a build, yet.  speed rated tires ordered, mini tach/speedo set where i think they should work.  still need to decide on rear sets or go on a diet, see if i can get my knees into some sort of a tuck.

One thing I see is your fuel line I think. No clear plastic fuel lines, must be rubber. Your chain guard won't pass at a regular meet. I don't know about the 130 club... Seat pan looks good.  Makin progress!
