xtonyx Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 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!

Moderator drewpy Posted March 22, 2008 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2008 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSwheels Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 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.

xtonyx Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 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!!
