    There are several tubeless wheel options. I don't know if you mean you want spoked or cast wheels but these spoked options are nice, and the Alpina I think are available as direct replacements for Triumphs:

    de nada.

    Who is your ISP? Most allocate a certain amount of webserver space to each customer. Of course, they aren't always too forthcoming about the space.

    Thanks for posting that Pascal. Looks like great fun and has me longing for springtime and the gravel roads again!
    It looks like you have gone from YSS shocks to Öhlins, is that right?
    And I think you have changed the rims? Is that a 21", 18" setup or is my eyesight going?

    Cheers

    Several models of the '09 new Bonneville are coming with cast wheels and tubeless tires. I would assume they would be a direct bolt on.?

    Nah...sorry,but mags on a Scrambler would be as wrong as stilettos on a fat chick.

    It just ain`t right.

    The problem is that the Scrambler front tire is 19 x 2.5 inches. The 2009 Bonneville front 17 x 3.0 inches.

    Hi riders,

    The Chromo frame is one off, as is the 5 gal tank, side panels and pipes. I did send photos and specs to Triumph.....no response. Local dealer......oh, that's nice. No build pics. We just didn't think about it at the time.
    Frame was made by a retired frame and race car builder. He has a frame jig, etc.
    Bike is No.Calif. Sierra Foothills.
    No frame flexing around the stocker. Better suspension.

    One comment about the mag wheels. Nice on the pavement. Not so nice off road. They have been tried in the past. They do not flex when the bike hits a chuck hole, etc. Spokes flex and give. If you ever see a slow motion video of a spoke wheel in action off road.....they give and flex as part of the whole suspension package. Very little but it prevents, or helps prevent damage to the wheels. BMW has used spoke wheels with tubeless tyres for a long time. Also, Montessa, (Hontessa), and many other trials bikes use a rear tubeless wheel. Fronts are still tube type. BMW places the spke nipples toward the outside of the rim. Montessa uses a ridge along the center of the rim and come off that with adjustable spokes.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    I agree. I love spoked wheels, there's something magic in the way they go together and hold together. But you know there are some really weird people that never take their bikes out even on a gravel road or a single laner, even if it's a Scrambler!! :huh :wink:

    Read the uber Scrambler mod in Motorcyclist today. Talk about overkill sheesh. $2400 Penske shocks? :lol3 Fiberglass rear fender. Ducati Monster handlebars.

    The rims. I like. Camshafts. I like. Brakes. I like.
