Gyro is not a very good candidate for trying to look like a "gangstuh"
Leave it alone and enjoy the perfect stance it already has, or get yourself a ruck and make it 10 feet long.

I just mounted up 2 new tires I got from www.tires-easy.com. They are lawn and garden tires, but they are not cracked and worn out 27 year old Dunlops either. Look them up under lawn and garden, 5.30 by 6 rim. They have 4 choices. I got the tires, delivered, all in for just under $50. My local Walmart doesn't carry this size. Maybe I need to look in the suburbs, but this way was way easier and I didn't have to drive all over and I really like that I didn't have to go into Walmart.

Now to get the cylinder bored out to 44mm, and get a piston. Tazland told me he's out of pistons right now. Anyone got another source? Otherwise I guess I'll wait.

I still think I can mount a express spoked wheel on a gyro ...
so here goes ...

OK I will Almost Done ...

[quote="motormike"]So tell us 66SIX,...is this a direct bolt-on

Yes almost a direct bolt on / you need to cut and grind the back of the forks
the lock holes don't line up . no biggie ...

What is the distance from pavement to footpeg for both the stock bike and the modified bike

Distance from pavement to foot peg spoke wheel is 10'
Gyro front end is 9' so your only talking an inch ...

How does the steering differ
Steering I tried to take it for a test run got 5 " then it died


Do you feel way cooler now
Much so

What are you using for headlight
I chopped a front gyro fork long ago I was going to put different headlight on one
so I still have the old mount and signal mounts so some plate steel and some welds
it will be great... as I will make the plate bigger so I can add toggle switches later or I phone
and cig lighter or drink holder or fuzzy dice .

Will you sell me the PA 50
It's too much fun ... was riding it today
Will you bring it to me
Thats probably not going to happen ...

Here are some things you might want to consider :
You have to use the Express handlebars which are shorter ...
You will have to make mounts for a headlight ...
as for the speedo I am not sure how accurate its going to be ?
the gyro forks look a lot stronger so if the express snaps I will know why .
Also put a sheet or something on the ground to catch the ball bearings when they start falling out after I was all finished I found 1 bearing on the ground ... Oh well ?
spoked wheels should have been an add on from honda .

Oh the brake cables are very different
