Viva spring prep

recracer · 03-02-2014, 10:21 PM

After last summer On the Goldwing ,The viva saw little use . This year I decided to pick up a pair of knobby tires for the OE Viva Wheels . The OE Viva wheels are Chinese factory aluminum . I caught an auction on ebay I could not ignore . I won the action for 31.00 and 26.00 shipping from Canada . 410-18 and 275-21 . Brand name unknown to me SBL made in china ,But for 57.00 to my door

. To get some ride time on the Viva, I'll be out looking for dirt ,gravel paths to explore this riding season .

You got a superb deal on those very nice, knobby tires.

Also, the Viva looks looks great.

The viva does look good!

Those are the same tires I put on my TS185; they have been good on wet pavement, and they wear like concrete.

Your shop is too neat.

Back up on my toes . The Viva looks huge compared to the 17inch sumo setup.

Looks good! Let me overpay for your old wheels!

It was $268 for the wheels, which is cool. But for the 138 shipping on top, I should be able to get name brand hoops in the states and lace them to my hubs, right?

Sure you can . spoke size is the key , I am not smart enough to figure that out

or you could send them out and have it done
