Let your fringe fly free bro! Awesome scooter...

I gotta 21" Reinforcer cause I'm too cheap for a 23" and a rear rim and tire.

It ain't a fad, if it makes you glad!

So I have a question about the big wheel. What happens if you get a flat or need a tire changed? Is it hard to find places that have a tire machine that can handle these larger rims? or do you have to send it out?

I got your back 02BlueDeuce.

I have every stock nut,bolt and part and would take me about 2 days and my bike would be back in stock form. Best of both worlds, IMO.

I have a real problem with leaving anything I buy in stock form.

Oh and my sunglasses are black and my jeans are red tab LEVIS.

I would have to call a buddy with trailer or a tow truck like I would with my stock wheel.
There are about 6 custom bike builders in my state alone I can think of that would have my tire available

Obviously! But not what I was asking. My question was more for the fact that some people don't have the same accessibility to those tire machines, and curious to how they go about getting a tire replaced.

You're right most don't, but I do. Rode a 2500 mile trip in September and then rode to Vegas bikefest in October which is over 800 miles one way from where I am in NorCal. I know the impression most people have about the big wheel bikes is they are all trailer Queens and bar hoppers and they are probably right in a lot of cases but not in mine. I built my 26" setup to be ridden and that's what I do. And I live in an area that has some great riding roads too, Hwy 299 & Hwy 20 for example. Bike rides awesome thru the twistys, yeah not like an 18 or 21 but I have no trouble staying with a pack.

Zipties are your friend lol. Look up motorcycle wheel mounting with zipties and you will see how you do it with any size wheel.

Thanks Second Wind. Beautiful bike too. Yeah I could put mine back to stock in about a day also, it's an MC Bagger kit so real easy to revert back to stock although I can't think why I would want to lol.

Black & chrome will never go out of style.
