This is funny stuff for sure. Like was said if yu don't want to buy bike tires then sell the bike. I mean what's next. Getting sick of buying engine oil so where going to state using cooking or olive oil in our bikes?

On a side note there was a guy on my Kaw fourm that had a single sided swing arm on his Z1000 and the hub was a 4 lug so he used a alum car wheel like you see on hooked up hondas and mounted a 190 or 200 bike tire on it and it work out great, but the point it he still used a bike tire. Like has been said before-"just becasue you can does not mean you should"

Could be a period correct mod from the Flathead era. Can we get a ruling from the AMCA?
