I'm having a hard time finding 1"x.134 DOM that the plans call for. I can get 1"x.156 but wanted to check here for pros and cons of using thicker wall tubing first. Is .134 an uncommon wall size? Is there a downside to using .156?

I would think just some added weight using heavier tubing.Putting that on your triumph?

Yep. I'm building it for a budget bike I'm trying to build with my extra parts. If it turns out as cool as I think it will, it may go on current rider.

The weight difference is about 2oz a foot, you will be fine.
