New rear wheel w/ new mounted tire

[hiflyer]

I found another new wheel and tire combo on ebay yesterday and bought it. As I suspected, it came from Shawnee Honda, which is one of the largest trike builders in the country. This is where I have picked up several new take offs for my F6B. I plan to keep one spare with a M/C tire mounted, and 1 spare with a C/T mounted, and will probably have one of these, along with a spare front powder coated some bright color to contrast to the black, similar to what the guy with the ape hangers did. If you are looking for any spares, such as rear wheels, rear drives, taillights, brakes, rotors, etc. Give these guys a call, as it seems they always have parts for sale. I have zero affiliation, just posting so that some of you guys can get the spares you want or need.

I just bought a rear rim and tire for 225.00 shipped! Man what a deal! Shipping was fast and packed with care.
All my local M/C Shops wanted 279.00 plus fees for a tire just mounted on the rim.
I mounted the new rim and tire up on the bike last weekend, and was smooth as glass.

Where did you get it?

I paid $225 just a few months ago through Shawnee's E-Bay store.

I see that they are now selling them for $275 :shrug:

That's what I paid this week, $275, and what I paid several month's ago. (yes I have two spares) I need to figure out how to turn off this camera on my computer. They evidently know it's me when buying!:017:

Sounds like you own a trike by default :icon_biggrin::yes:

Got my new centerstand from them. Took it off to make a trike. $65 dhipped to my door. Brandon in parts is the guy I dealt with. I saw the tire on their Ebay store. The tire by itself is over $200 and most places around here charge $50-$75 to mount it, so the $275 is an excellent deal. Can't wait to wear mine out! I too, would like to try the darkside at some time.

Steve the sad thing is some of the younger guys won't get that joke. They don't know what a Continental Kit is.

[Steve 0080]

True...but it would be cool !!!! I was trying to put a rear wing on at one time also !!!

A friend here wants a centre stand for her F6B.

She phoned Shawnee Honda on my suggestion to inquire about a used centre stand.
Kevin at Shawnee told her they would sell her one from a trike conversion for $50 with all hardware which seems fair enough, but he told her that the GL1800 centre stand would not fit the F6B without some modifications.

Anyone know more about any modifications required to make the GL1800 stand fit the F6B?

He is mistaken. As far as I know any 2002 on up GL1800 center stand will bolt right up to the F6B with no mods.
Just make sure she gets the hardware.

That's what I thought. I'll let her know.
Thanks.

How about an transcontinental kit? One spare is for rookies. Oh, and look! He's a darksider!

Unsub that is good buddy. I've never seen darkside on a bicycle. Looks like he's set for the long haul.

They are the same. I had mine installed in 15 minutes right out of the box.

[Ericb445]

There was a big difference between the new and old, I probably shouldn't have waited till the old got that bad:shrug:

I ride pretty hard and most that ride with me tell me so. I love the twistys and seek them out.
42psi, and changed at 16700 miles.

15 minutes? It took me an hour just to install the spring! 

[shooter]

Old Ryder is right. I am fortunate though I have a rack. The spring is easy with a spring release tool used primarily on older cars with drum brakes. Took longer to open the box than it did to put it on.

Bobby I thought you were trying Darkside?

I have a Darkside tire/wheel but the wheel was from a regular wing. I wanted an F6B wheel and now I have another tire to use too. So now I have a tire/wheel collection to go with my windshield collection. :icon_doh::icon_mrgreen:
