Looking good, I'll be watching to see it come to life. interesting set up with the twin calipers on the rear wheelΒ
Β That twin caliper set up is for the front wheel, not the rear.

Β Do you run all the same tires on all three wheels. If you running a rear tire on front do you reverse the rotation?

Generally no. I usually put a new set on for a big trip. Flavour of the day, I am not to fussy about tires. Round and black will do. Β I do run the Car tire backwards so I can rotate it on to Pusher if I wear it out on a trip. Which I have. Β I do like the Heidenau K60 as a pusher. I seem to get good wear out of them and they work for the type of riding I do. This last go round, I have ended up with a Mish Mash of half worn out tires so I have been rotating them into service to wear them out. Being of the thrifty sort :-). The new LBS rig is going to start out with a Car tire as a Pusher and a couple Michelins on the car and the front. Never thought about running the front tire backwards, don't think I will.Β
I should have being more clearer. If you put the wheel from the back to the front do change the rotation of the tire.Β I know on other bike that use the rear tire in the front when you put a wide tire kit on a couple of the tire manufacturersΒ say if you are running a rear tire in the front to change the rotation.Β In may case is they don't make a front tire the same size as the rear.Β Β

Something to consider. Not something I am going to fuss over though

Well it finally had to happen. I got the phone call that the Overland rig was ready. First road test confirmed my suspicions. We didn't build an over land rig, we built a Sports Car. I am very pleased. It was a pleasure to work with Mike at LBS-USA. The whole process even though delayed by Covid Border Closures worked out fairly well even crossing back into Canada, after paying a whack of taxes of course. Dammit! Now to see if I am worthy of this new machine.
First class looking rig.Enjoy it to the fullest. J.R.
Ambassador at large.
Β Β Sweet looking rig, have fun enjoy.

One awesome rig, hope to see in person at national rally in Hotchkiss, CO.
Would be well attended if you and Mike could co-host a tech session on the design and build of your new rig... ???
