Apart from Dymags, does anyone know if some other wheels from Japanese bikes will fit the 2006 t100.
For example, one of the bike mechanics can fit a CB250 wheel on the front for less than US$100 but they have five spokes and I am looking for three spokes.
Thanks in advance.

just wanted to bring this up the board in case some of the weekend visitors had some ideas... cheers

I am interested in hearing the answer to this one too...

yeah, metoo. I've seen this asked elsewhere, it seems to be the only question no one can answer.

well you have 3 options:

-spend big money on mag wheels $2,000+ (US)
-buy some wheels and do some serious home work, machine work, and possibly some fabrication.
-relace your stock hubs to different sized rims $1000+

All options are expensive and/or difficult.

Few on this forum, or on this earth, have that much desire to do what you're asking. There's your answer. Time and/or money.

I'm interested. I'd been wondering about the interchangability of different Triumph front ends. What all was involved to fit the Daytona triple clamp to the bonnie frame neck? How do fork lengths/wheel diameters (including tires) compare?

If you email me pictures I'll post them.

hi sweet machine you need to get some slugs made up for your forks to extend them. you need early daytona forks pre 02 thicker spindle ,mechanical speedo drive, later,had digital no good.there is only one part you need made for the stem a bearing seat top and push a new seat on the bottom of stem a bonnie one ,also cut head stock stop of and weald on new stops at the sides for your new bottom yoke its easy to match up paint once you have finished wealds i will take some photoes and show

If you want to see some great looking aluminum forged wheels that will fit the Bonneville and the Thrux, go to the British Customs web site and check out the Carrozzeria wheels.

I heard some wheels like those from cbr's might work. There has to be an alternative to those Carrozzeria with a $1900 price tag... any three spokers look a bit better too. that's my two cents.

I'm very interested at seeing some pics of this. I have been considering finding a frontend from a 675 to fit.

The 675 has a 41mm frontend, for those wondering why a 675.

A 675 front end and F/R wheels would look awesome, and I'm sure handle much better provided the rake/trail is right. I shudder to think what it would cost to buy from Triumph, and with the model being so new I bet they'll be hard to find on Fleabay.
