With the correct period tyre now fitted I am as happy as a pig in sugar....and I promise that I will not get my knee down on this machine with these old period style tyres (not silver).... Need to do some finishing touches tomorrow....I.E work on those spokes....   |

That looks realy nice Nick.I love those conical hubs,if I bought another Triumph twin it would have to have them on ( not that I’m likely too lol 😆) The Old Dunlop K70s were ok as long as you didn’t get too enthusiastic lol😂😂

What was the catch Nick ,you forgot to say Apparently these little f@ckers were the problem, Tel.......he was calling them 'rim locks'.....said they should only ever be fitted to old dirt bikes.......and made the (tyre) harder to remove than what he was expecting......... My 67 Lightning had them too on the rear??? Think I may have been f@cked over for twice the labour......this is LA.  |

TT100 was originally developed by Dunlop for the BSA/Triumph triples.I used Avon Roadrunners in the 70s.Avons suit my Harley better than others I’ve tried the original Dunlop’s were lethal in wet,not that us Harley riders venture out in wet lol.😂😂
