Conversion to 19" front rim - LongRanger_imp - 04-01-2019
The local flat track racing club just received approval to build a mile dirt track out by the airport. I think it's going to be a huge success. There will be amateur flat track races each Thursday night during the summer and a pro championship series on Saturdays. I'm planning to convert my DLX into an open-class racer so I can relive my childhood dreams. I'll need to pare down the weight but the engine should prove to be very competitive, especially once I ditch the porky 4-into-2 exhaust. In fact, I've already lined up a sponsor. Only problem so far is finding a 19" front rim that'll work on this bike. I'd like to go with an Akront but am having difficulty, and Buchanan's is unwilling to help. Anyone have any luck with one on their CB?
Check your calendar, folks.

Houtman, are you kidding me? I just ordered a 19” front wheel!!
He had me going. Sounded like fun to me.

Maybe in Canada but in the US you better watch out all day.

Actually, popgun, it ends at noon in most of the civilised world.
