YEAH IT IS, BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE, AND ITS ON THE HOUND DOG. SO MY POCKET BOOK TELLS ME TO RUN THESE WHEELS. DOESNT LOOK TO BAD, BY THE WAY, THE GREEN SEAT IS GOING BYE BYE.

The rear tire in my opinion is correct for the bike I have a 1 page brochure on the DG Hound Dog and it shows a Tri Star rim just like the one on your bike.. The front wheel looks to be incorrect ...

 

[Strigoi]

is it just me or does the rear wheel on the teal one looked tweeked in the pic?

it looks like it has some rear wheel steering going on. :laugh:

yeah my buddy took the og briggs 5 horse and the og tri-stars, and gave me the rest. the teal one looks nice, but it doesnt have suspension. and the tubes for the suspension is precision tube. slides real well with no slop. i think someone added the 12 pack holder in the front. tho
if anybody is really interested, i have the og clutch cover just like the teal one.

p.s the fenders on the teal one look like bonanza fenders that have been modded and set down on the wheels. nice touch. where is that one located ?

Dave Grattan made a few different modles of the Hound Dog the brochure I have is for the model 400 and there are alot more differences mainly to the sq tube frame

im sure im over priced, but might as well put a big tag on if not sure on wanting to sell or not. . you know the sayin. $ talks and bs walks
