I have a 83' 185s i bought for $50 (at that price i figured why not) brought it home and cleaned the carb and it ran like a champ till the motor got hot. Replaced the coil and solved the prob so i went to air the tires up and take it on it's madian voyage and not one tire holds air!
The front tire is junk but the back one's look brand new so i cleaned it up and all 3 rims have rust holes through them, i don't want to put a tube in them cause i'm going to restore the trike!
Long story short i measured the rims and from what i can tell it's 8 in rim and the offset from center to outer edge is 4.5 no matter wich side i measure from. I can't seem to find any rims this size!
Denniskirk and rocky mtn atv list a 3.5/5.0 offset and thats rear wheel only they dont list a front!! I pulled the orginal wheeles off the back and it must be the same as the orginal front wheel because i put a back one on the front but again all 3 measure 8x 4.5/4.5.
Where can i find some brand new wheeles?????
