Wade,

Welcome to the forum. It looks like you can provide some interesting stories and pictures. We look forward to both. Of course, my name is not one you recognize except, perhaps, through this forum as someone with a bit too much to say.

Hi Wade-o and welcome
Nice array of A10's you have there. one of them kind of resembles what I hope my ongoing project will turn out like.
Presently wrestling with the rear guard, the guard is for a Lightning and I'm struggling to get it into Goldie stays however I have some spacers that will help and a couple of fresh holes drilled in the top of the guard to suit the top bracket and I should be there.

All the best - Bill

1961 Flash - stock, reliable, steady, fantastic for shopping
1959 Rocket Gold Flash - blinged and tarted up  would have seizure if taken to  Tesco

finally thought you had enough A10's to show your face over here, eh?   ;)

so in that half built photo with the green oil tank, is that a 4.00 tire front and back?  I like that large bobber kinda look, but when I spoke with the guys at Domiracer, they suggested that putting two 4's will make 'er handle like a pig?  what do you find?

I seem to adapt well enough to what I've got to work with, so new rubber would likely ride better than the MT-53's Ive got on 'er now, even if its not smaller up front...

gotta get some of those long fork guards too, are those the 15" ones that we see on eBay constantly these days?

/quote]  Hey snowy I agree with the guys at Domi,-It would slow the handling down maybe a little sluggish ...you also have options A 21 inch is what some 57 came with . that wheel on the before photo came off of a A7 junker but i used the thing as a roll around until the proper 21 came along ..Oh Dirt trackers woudnt say there bikes handle like pigs ,But i have over done that and it made my Trackmaster Triumph feel bigger than it was and it woudnt cut loose and turn tight.

gotcha, mine came with 19's front and rear, maybe I'll stick with what works  ;)

good ta see you over here, its a great board and nice that you don't have to double check too often to ensure you're not reading about an A65!
