Posted March 21, 200816 yr Alrighty, I've got just about every part in the mail for my bike except a new rear tire, what size tires are you guys running on the rear? I've got the allow wheels (18" ?). I want the widest, roundest tire I can get for the back, even If it takes a little grinding to make it fit I'm not afraid. =) most recent pictures here.. http://www.driven2modify.com/showpost.php?...mp;postcount=84 you can read my entire buildup here.. http://www.driven2modify.com/showthread.php?t=12043 thanks in advance!

March 22, 200816 yr Moderator the biggest I'd seen was 120 x 18 and it was really close to the swing arm and will touch the chain guard (100/90x18 om mine)
March 22, 200816 yr I too have a 100/90 in fact it is the same brand you have on your bike now. I agree, if you go wider you will have to notch or remove your chain guard. Remember that if you squeeze a larger tire on your stock rim, the tread will become more rounded and leave you with a smaller contact patch. Your sidewall will also flex more.
March 22, 200816 yr Author i was looking at the battlax tires, i don't have a chain guard anymore.. took it off and fabbed up a spacer to fill the gab on the axle. =) i'll look at a 120. want a little beef back there, going for the bobber look. all my pieces are prepped and primed now.. paint is going on tonight or tomorrow. woo!!
March 23, 200816 yr Author i'm looking at these little guys. thinking about a 110/90 in the front, and a 120/90 in the back.. a little fatter all around. http://www.tireexpress.com/prod.cfm?cid=6701&pid=6516
