    You need a new swingarm, I believe chain conversion and new rim. There's company that sells them. Grand Stand 240 mm Tire Kit

    what do you want to accomplish by going to a 240mm tire? its not going to handle better, im sure it will just make it worse actually.

    you can fit 240 in the stock swingarm with a stock belt by using an offset rim

    Come on guys - lets try to be more helpfull. He didn't ask if we thought it would handle better or if we would do it.... he asked how to. I personally like the 240 look - it would be pretty sweet on a bar hoping Buell.

    There was a post on here from a guy that had a 240 with the stock swing arm, chain drive and a widened rim. Don't recall who it was but I did see it on ebay at one point.
