Glen, Jim:
I don't know about Mr. Smith's "small" front tire, but the rulebook seems to
be telling me that 12" ist verboten! (for non-Production class bikes)
Section VII.C.6)"Wheels: must have a minimum nominal rim diameter of 15"."
(that's for "Special Construction"-- in section VII.B.6), the book says ~
the same thing for Modified bikes.)
Am I reading this wrong? If so, I'd like to think some on tiny front wheel
possibilities, too!

Have you looked into the small drag race tires and wheels ran a few years
back. They might be what you want. A racer in Washington state has a small
front on his streamliner motorcycle.His name is Simon-Pierre Smith.
simon-pierre smith@pss.boeing.com
I think this is still a good address. try it.Make sure you type out the
whole name as shown.
If no good I might be able to get a phone number for you.
