A friend had a similar problem with a TR-250 he bought in 1996. It had a
Moto-Lita when he bought it, but the wheel rubbed against the ORIGINAL
steering column housing. Liking the wheel ok but not liking the rubbing
and its consequences, he bought another Moto-Lita, similar but with the
wood rim. Same problem. Ultimately he bought a repro original wheel from
TRF. THAT seems to fit just fine.
FWIW....
