Well spotted young Jedi ;)  I'm building a replica of the actual test bike as ridden by Mike Pardon and Andy Preston bitd. The rear is def Skyway. Perhaps they smashed the front during the test and had to replace, I dunno. Anybody got a TRM for sale, let me know as i'd like to build more, this is my third.

It's not a Skyway is it? On closer inspection you can see a reflector attachment. Can anyone id this wheel? I'll try for a better pic.
