Interested to hear if the wheels do fit as I need to sort mine at some point..

Ah, one and the same, just ye olde euphamism. I was about to give you big  :notworthy for keeping two women and two bikes going.

No intention of getting you in the  :Topes apologies.

Thanks for checking that for me, reason I asked is I don't like the looks of the extended rear fender and debating whether to go with a hugger or go with a BMVV type dog pi$$ gaurd type thingy.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Just some info for you, This is my '96 with 150 rimmed wheel from a later S/S spoked wheel. Fits fine, no mods required.
Secondly, the Hugger is a genuine Triumph part used on other models. It fits on the chain side ok, but needs a small mod on the brake side. In my case a bolt hole, in Reibers, tie raps. Yo need to remove the mount on this side, because the model it fits has an under swingarm brake and torque arm.

Sin_Tiger

Hmmm, which models do you think I should be looking for if I want to pick up a 2nd hand rim & hugger?

the ones i got sin are off a 2000 fi model. if ya want a standard rim tho, i got a good rear with a tyre on it and matchin front tyre thatll be up f grabs soon ;) altho my guess is ya gunna be wantin the wider rim :D

Not that I spend all day on ebay, but this is the type of Hugger you probably want. This is in gloss black, but may have been painted.

Rybes, yup I should have said that I'd be after a 4.25 rim, might be able to pick up a DID or Excel locally rather than try to bring from the UK. Drop me a PM if you are passing up your old wheels, Ta.

MIMbox, well spotted, got my eye on that, Ta.
