No I didn't...do you happen to have any pics of it or a link...Just curious to see how nice it was...I have 4, TX-6's at the moment...that's enough for now, lol.
I checked craigslist the other day and didnt see the add, but the same guy still has a rupp roadster listed and some other bigger bikes. the price tag was around $3500 was an green one with title and looked pretty impressive.
Thank you markus and jeff! I'll keep my eyes open on the web for a pirelli sc 80. In the meantime I may swap the good 7" front to the rear and buy a 6'' for the front. Ok stupid question- is 3.50 my rim size? when ordering a 6inch tire online im guessing there a bunch of different rim sizes what size do i need
sort of the width of the tire. I cant remember what the overall height is on the 7" tires, I still have a Benelli Hurricane with them but its packed away in our tiny barn a few hours north of me so I cant check/compare:doah: I would say in a 6" the closest in height is going to be a 5.30/4.50 x 6 but may be a little fatter. anything in the 4.10/3.50 will looks pretty small and stubby compared to the 7"
The rupp 6" wheels have a simalar design, I had thought about adapting a rear 1969 one to a TX-1 I wanted to build and leaving the universal pirelli on the front. they had a front disc brake so I had visions of doing burnouts in my head :devil2: when tires, if you can even find them, cost 75-100 that was not a wise idea. 6" there is a pretty good selection, plus the sprockets and parts like that for the Rupp can be a little easier to acquire. it never happened though, but man if I could have pulled it off, lock up the front brake, a little bleach on the rear tire....after the smoke cleared i'm pretty sure they would have crowned me king of the trailer park!!! :laugh:
