Picked up a set of Intra mag wheels for a CB750. Search turns up nothing (here or Google.) Anybody know anything about them?

Post up some pics please!

Those are some good looking wheels. Is the rear a drum or disk brake? Looks like disk.

Don't know intra brand, but sure look like morris mags and kawasaki mags

Yes. Sort of. I think they are nylon bushings on the bolt holes instead of rubbers

Intra made replica wheel for both cars and bikes, no longer in business, I read somewhere that AMG had a hand in closing them down as the replica AMG wheels they were making were as good as AMG's.... Don't know how accurate that is but i did read it somewhere..

DYSKORD · « **Reply #7 on:** March 05, 2015, 04:56:15 PM »

They are for disc. No Cush drive. "Made in West Germany" stamped as can be seen in pic.
I thought they were pretty neat. He also sold me some ActionFours rods and some Alcoa MTC rods. All NIB!
Back on the wheel note, I think I might run these as a safer bet than my Kimtabs. Has anyone figured out who can fracture test Kimtabs?

chewbacca5000 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 05, 2015, 05:02:08 PM »

I'll test them out for you just send them to me!

So you going to build a hot rod motor with those? Those are nice for sure.

BPellerine · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2015, 01:44:55 PM »

cool find ,how do they differ from stock rods?bill

chewbacca5000 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 06, 2015, 02:07:39 PM »

They are heat treated making them much stronger. Thicker and heavier than stock too. If you want to sell these I got lots of really nice stuff to trade.

bwaller · « **Reply #15 on:** March 06, 2015, 05:02:15 PM »

The small ends are bushed, the caps are heavily reinforced and use stronger bolts. They are heavy though.

Brantley · « **Reply #16 on:** March 07, 2015, 01:14:27 AM »

Those remind me of Skyway BMX mags. Action Four rods not necessary in that application.

trueblue · « **Reply #17 on:** March 07, 2015, 02:11:54 AM »

They definately look like a copy of the Morris Mags, down to the cush drive bushes in the sprocket.

Powderman · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2015, 01:54:43 PM »

Was there a pic of the sprocket I missed?

754 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2015, 10:11:59 AM »

Less spokes than Morris.
There was a place in California that built wheels similar to Morris for choppers, C+G I think, also I think DenisCurtis the frame guy up here may have made some ideas had access to some, saw a set on the landspeed bike he helped on around 75.

Morris is a nice wheel, that was often copied.. Going to pick up an NOS 16 rear off a Kawi LTD tommorow. KAWI used them a year or two then, knocked down hem off in huge numbers.

Here's a picture Dennis Curtis sent of the wheels he made. They were Magnesium.

Even though it's triumph, but Very nice!

what gas tank is that? Aftermarket I suppose?

754 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 09, 2015, 09:04:07 PM »

Curtis, probably. The frame is as well.

Rookster · « **Reply #23 on:** March 10, 2015, 06:32:13 AM »

That is a Rob North framed Triumph Trident. One of the most successful racing bikes of all time. The frame was made for the factory prepared race bikes. There are 2 versions of the North frame, the highboy and the lowboy. The tanks were made specifically to fit the North frame. An interesting feature of the North frame was the twin tubes that ran from the swingarm pivot boss to the steering head around the engine not over it. Those are the bikes that essentially pushed the CR750 out of contention in worldwide road racing in 1970-1971.

Very similar frame design to a lot of modern bikes, way ahead of its time....

I've got this rat bike waiting to be tinkered with. Frank 754 mention it's martin, but looks very similar to the triumph posted above

Whats the frame look like under the tank...?

bwaller · « **Reply #27 on:** March 10, 2015, 05:21:54 PM »

Looks like s stock frame & swingarm.

Rookster, you're right, those North framed triples were a potent race bike for quite a while. There were several top riders racing those.

By the way Curtis told me his wheels were static sand cast in a foundry in Vancouver, but that the casting quality became a problem in time and he decided to cease production. He said the wheels sold very well during that time. About this same time Morris started producing wheels in a lightly spun sand cast arrangement that obviously worked well.

DYSKORD · « **Reply #28 on:** March 11, 2015, 03:29:00 PM »

These are wheels are branded "Intra" and are stamped "made in West Germany." Through some more searches they are def not Morris and appear to be similar EPM mags used on Ducati race bikes. They were sold to me as Lester's but once they were opened and inspected, clearly not.
