Hey folks....been a while.
I'm trying to figure out if there is a matching set of wheels, that fits our bikes, in 17rear 19front or larger. Ive only been able to find 16x19 or 17x17 or something like that. I'm considering releasing my (TBS hub/23"wheel/still have the original tbs rim and spokes) in to the ether as I'm not completely sold on it's place in the current direction of my moto. That being said, 19 is about as small as I'd be willing to go up front and 17 in the rear.
p.s. I know i could always just have spokes laced to any size rim, and that is currently the best option, but I'm thinking about ditching the spokes (GASP!)
Thanks everyone. Good to be back.

Also, I just noticed that the Icon speedmaster uses wheels off a tiger. Any ideas of what wheels will fit our bikes? I realize spacing is key but what if there are other triumph wheels that fit?

If I had the equipment, would I be asking? Im asking if anyone knows what wheels are bolt on.

I'd go for one of them round wheels, square or triangles are a bit "lumpy".
Seriously though, have you thought of contacting a scrapyard, breakers yard or whatever people call them. These guys are very knowledgeable on "what fits what". If you need any machining done drop me a line. Des.

A fork changeout may be easiest solution for a wheel change in the front. web page BTW, modern Tiger wheels are not a plug and play swap, I checked that out awhile back.
