[QUOTE="54Greybeard, post: 39534, member: 1288"] Just to give an idea of how good this wheel really is, here is a picture of EML's version of the same thing. They are a big name European sidecar manufacturer. Their side cars come with the car, front forks, and car tire conversions for the front and the rear. Sidecars are more performance oriented than most of what we see over here. As you can see, they used steel instead of aluminium, functional but nowhere near the beauty and precision of Harry's wheel. I don't know what the deal is in this particular rural area above York, PA. C. Stanley Motorsports is here and he is a dealer for Hannigan sidecars and also makes his own bodies out of steel and aluminium and his own suspensions. Then there's Harry Tarizian who lives 45 minutes away, doesn't even have a computer, let alone CNC machinery. He made blueprints for this wheel! Anyway, check out this picture of a wheel made by a big time company and come to your own conclusion. When we were first talking and I balked at the price of the wheel, Harry said you can use it then, if you get another bike, you can put it on ebay. After seeing it, I think if I get rid of the bike, I'll take the wheel of and put it on my coffee table. My wife was even impressed with how well it was done. The price was $1200, which included the wheel, the tire, new bearings, the center wheel halves and balancing. I had to provide the Comstar wheel center section.
