First was to add a monster rear tire. The 240 on my R1 did not take anything away from handling. I live in the turns and wouldn't do this if it did.
The 240 kit for the buell had been done over and over and is avaiable off the shelf so in true fashion I decided to build something that hadn't been done...a 280 in a stock arm with facory wheelbase. I love the short fat look. :D
After researching and mesuring, I found that the 1st gen XB swingarms had much more room for a bigger tire than the later arms so I got an 04 arm and began.
I bought a second set of wheels to go under the knife. Sent the rear to kosman specialties in CA to have the rear widened from 5.5 to 10.5. Sent the front to a guy in NY to have rotor bosses CNC'd and welded onto the opposite side of the front rim.
