Skillet,
that 160 probably does handle better. I'm glad you were able to find a tire in a pinch.
I realize that a fat tire may not improve the cornering, but I feel its worth the sacrifice to get the "look" I want.
My powder coating buddy is picking up my rims saturday. So it may be a couple of weeks until I get the tires mounted. Also I have a lot more going on with the bike, it may be a month and a half until the bike is pic worthy.
Triumph 72,
Look up Buchanan spoke and rim online, there they will have a contact number. The guys name is Kenny Buchanan. My spokes should be there about tuesday 15th. He charges $1.60 a spoke, so about $64 is what it would take on the spoke. I'm not sure on the 16"x5.5" rim, a buddy gave it to me. You could probably find one on ebay. The bike shop (not a Triumph bike shop) near my house charges $75 to unlace and relace.
It will be a considerable amount cheaper to do it this way.
good luck
