Four Bolt 8" Trailer Rim

Tires Front and Rear

145 or 155 SR 13 Radial (*Recommend Michelin 155SR13 XW4 Black wall, this is a symmetrical tire)

Note: 145 is the width in millimeters - 13 is the rim size in inches Make sure the tire is symmetrical in tread design. 

Tire Pressure ~ 30 to 35 PSI
I recommend using 35 PSI on the rear tire if you have the reverse unit.
Note: Running a low tire pressure on the rear tire will allow the reverse unit to spin against the tire.

Out-rigger tires

4.80x8 - Use a high quality 2 or 4 ply tire rated for Highway speed *Recommend Carlisle Brand
Note: Balance tires to provide for a smooth ride and to prevent repeated excess wear in one spot of the tire.  An unbalanced outrigger tire will rotate to the same position during its rest position (no road contact). Each contact with the road will then create excessive wear in one spot on the tire.  Run the tire  pressure between 10 to 20 PSI for increased tire wear and a smoother ride. The low tire pressure allows the sidewalls to flex thus reducing the scuffing effect/wear.
Note: Running a low tire may require tubes in the tires to prevent the tire from popping off the rim. (I prefer using tubes)
You can purchase a tire and rim together at Wal-Mart for $26.00.  This is a cheap tire and will not give you long mileage.

Reverse Motor

Brushtec MFG. ???They sell many parts for the Honda Goldwing 1800
For repairs ....check with your local alternator repair shop ...they might be about to replace the endcap for under $50.00. That should improve the power. I think the biggest problem with this setup is the drive cone has a tooth like design, this provides a very small contact area with the tire. If the driver was a slightly treaded roller it would have more surface area against the tire and be much more efficient.
