Norm, you can modify your existing front fork to make a taller tire work. Here you can see the 21 in mains and the nose wheel compared to existing, and see the difference, I made the extension so the 750 still has the same stance as original, and also has clearance.

Still have some mods to do
Next will be stabilizer stall fences and elevator extensions Jim made for me. Need to do the brake mod and probably going to go with high compression Pistons in the 0200
Moveable slats would be sweet.

The 21 inch tire is not quite as wide as the 18 inch tire. I put a wager or two on the inside so I could Ron it really low if needed
Fire better than the 18 for sure

Hi Thomas,

Ok I had not seen it previously but Yes now I see. I wondered how you got the higher tire to fit the new nosewheel fork. The fit with ordinary Bush wheel is pretty tight, I could not figure how you could fit a taller tire in it.

Regards,

Norm

Hi Norm,

I am doing some testing for Zenith with the larger tire. You can see in the photo a new longer blank fork that I used.

I have 2 hours on it this past weekend and it works nice. Much more sidewall stiffness with the 21 inch tire but time will tell when I take it to some really rough strips. We should have a lot of time on it by sun n fun and Zenith will be able to determine by the results of my testing if it will be available.

Hi Thomas,

Did you have to modify the nosewheel fork to get that larger tire in ???

Regards,

Norm
