 Mr. Dealer, My 06 Tank Courier has front disc & drum rear brakes. Size 110/90-12 frt & 130/70-12 rear tire. I need 12" x 3" rims. I've been searching online for sportier rims for my ride. Can someone supply me with choices? If not, how about replacement rims; front disc and rear drum? Thanks. ;D

I'll check when I get in today, but I should be able to get you the stock rims.

All the 06 couriers that I sold, had the same wheels as the Tank Touring 150. They also had a disc in the rear not a drum. Is there anyway you can post a pic of the rear wheel showing the exhaust side.

I was looking for the exhaust side to see if it had a swingarm, and which axle length it had. |

Are those pictures of your actual bike, those have a rear disk brake?
The video only shows it from the tranny side.

The 2 pictures above are off my bike, the other video was intended to show you another view of the back end of a Courier.

That is a rear disc brake. The wheel itself may have a drum housing, but you my friend have rear disc brakes. It isn't as large as the front disc, and does not have the anti-lock valve but is a disc brake set-up.
I can get you those wheels with tires, or you can get them from anyone that has the same wheels/tires that are on the Touring 150 DE.
I did call Tank's Tech (Dona) and he also confirmed that the Courier has never come with rear drum brakes.

 Sorry, you're right. Both are disc brakes, my error. I don't know what's come over me, Alhezimer's must be setting in.  This is the pix that Tank sent me. That is a rear disc brake.

That is the rascal, but you are better off buying the whole wheel assembly with tire, etc..

Yep, the tire and rims sound like the best way to go. Having to change a tire in an emergency is best served if one has a spare, and then take the old tire to the tire shop. In the past, changing and fixing a motorcycle tire was a chore, but a scooter...... Leave the work to the experts.  ]  Front rim 3"x12", notice special rear rim 3"x12", and Kenda-K761-Dual Purpose-130-70-12 |
