Hi FOLKS,
Just wondering do any of you guys know which wheels from another triumph fit a steamer,ive seen a picture of a steamer with a trophy rear wheel on this site.
i only use my tiger on the street and want wider rubber and the supermoto look.
Any info would be great......geno
That bike is mine and any rear wheel from the T300 series should fit, from a 93 to 98 from a Trophy, 885 and 1200 Daytonas preaty much any of the earlier Triumphs with the eccentric axle adjusters. The difference may be the brake rotors or the sprocket carrier. But Triumph used a modular design concept on their return in the early ninties. Good luck

That damn stand has been a love hate relationship. Obviously its has seen the road a couple of times, the foot pad is LONG gone I need the assistance of a 2 x 4 under the rear wheel to get the bike up enough to lever the beast onto the flimsy nightmare of a stand, but I love the flexible nature of the damn thing too. If the stand was engineered strong and stiff it wouldn't get out of the way so easily in turns :eusa_dance

I know I am a heretic and its an abomination to swap to the dark side and get rid of he spoked wheels, but damn I HATE flats and I think my spokes were getting loose (pun intended). The old girl feels you and tight again. :5moped
well folks.
the wheel upgrade continues.i now have the same rear setup as bjango,including colour which i will change in time.
i have a 99 trophy front wheel on the way ...ebay stricks again.
hopefully that will be as easy to fit...also have a replacement set of carbs to fit as mine were very problematic lately.. :)
