I got this off Facebook. I’d like to have seen more pictures but that rear wheel and tire looks suspicious. I think that the rim has been widened and a fatter tire mounted. Bobbers always catch my eye for some reason.

I think you're right John, if memory serves I believe a few years back someone had a kit for using a larger rear tire...larger than a car tire. Even though I now have the trike, I've given serious thought to picking up a Std. and making it into a bobber for local runs mostly. Problem is, I have limited working space now that there's two cars to fit in the garage. That's going to be difficult this winter with the trike in there so mine will sit outside this winter except when we go south sometime after January. You just know that white Audi isn't going to be sitting out...so I've already been told.  Grin

Thanks for that bit of sleuthing. It’s an 18” tire so someone had to do some work but I still think it’s the Valkyrie hub. Seems like JeffK had a modified wheel on one of his Valkyries back in the day.

yah, have same problem here with std 20x24' garage.  Wife wants her tucson suv in garage, NOT happening.  We both took off work 12-6 yesterday and spent 5 LONG full straight hours, no breaks, putting yard stuff up in enclosed trailer, 7x7 shed, and in my garage is a 17' fishing boat, 10 ft UTV, 8 ft 2-up ATV,  2 Valkyries, snowblower, 3 push mowers, and 4 tires soon to be put onto the wife's tucson before the snow flies too much.  I think once the tires go bye bye, I can squeeze my patio gas grill in there alongside the boat in front since more apt to use the gas grill this winter vs. in backyard on patio where it is colder/windier.

We must trudge on since wife will not let me put in my std city lot a 12x24' shed which will take up 1/2 my backyard.

I received no reply from the German website, guess it is US or Canadian.
