Well, as soon as I get my 14 year old into the office I'll post the photos this college grad can't figure out (hey ,I work in agriculture not computers) BUT they are pic's of my TBA with 33 degree rake front, black powdercoat lowers, 21" rim with a 120 Venom, sliced rear fender, 1958 Lucus tail light, "pointy" Thunderbird turn signals and a T-100 sprocket cover and custom (if you can see'em) rear peg hangers........yes she has Sceptors and Barking Mad Bonnie Mirrors..... bike is 8' in length now and the rake and trail is in the green !

Hey Daniel
Very nice, looking forward to seeing the pics.
You might be able to offer me some advice actually - I'm in the middle of collecting the parts to build a new front wheel for my TBA using a Thunderbird Sports hub, and I'm trying to decide if I should go for a 21" rim or the standard 18" one. I like the look of the bigger rim, but if I leave the rest of the bike's geometry standard what'll that do to the way it handles? Another question, what width rim should I use with a 21"?

Hey
I'm also interested to see the pics because I'm considering 120 Venom too. What rim did you use ?
Do you know does any other company has that wide 21" front tyre? I'm just thinking that if I buy wide 21" front rim and Avon stops producing that 120 Venom then the wide front rim is probably useles for narrower front tyre.
Regards
Jani

OOPS ! the web site said my file was too big to upload...hmmm (thinking) .....as far as the 21" 120...I think several other tire mfg's make that size - I just like saying "venom" as far as the 21" ( 4" taller than the stock 2" at the hub) in order to maintain the proper rake and trail we had a new triple tree with a tooled in to an additional 3.75 degree rake. the numbers came out good and after a couple of days commute and 100 miles the bike seems to corner and stear as well as stock...it is noticibly "bigger" as it is now longer, the chopped rear fender ads to the effect too. Overall, I think the bike looks cleaner and with some what of an attitude. The local comments have all been positive.....
