Thread: Tire 240mm ....

    Wouldn't the bike be WAY off balance with an offset rim?

    Fabic,
    Send your rear wheel to Kosman racing in Cali. to widen it. If you go to a chain drive you get an offset front sprocket. Pete from Grandstand designs will sell you the complete kit or pieces you need. The tensioner he makes is awesome. And your right it does look cool as Hell.

    EVLXB,
    MAGIC answered his question, the rest of us were just making sure he knows it will affect performance
    If one wants something cool to bar hop on.....get a HOG...lol

    I do agree that a big ass tire looks sweet on a bike but there are threads aboot up sizing the rear and the concensus is that after 200mm your pretty much useless unless your going in a straight line...

    just my 1/2 penny worth (the economy ya know)


    :D

    EVLXB that one with the 240 was it the green gator buell? that thing was pretty sick. I would of bought it when it went on sale but I was afraid to have such a blinged out ride for my first bike.

    Ok everyone, divergences aside, do not want to make the change because besides the bike not turning, do not have $ $ $ $ to invest now .... but I confess that I was curious and really liked the visual ... i put a tire 200 and liked it very much, I think in no way affects the performance, maybe the bike has been a little less quickly, but it was so .... hugs all.

    That looks pretty sweet. I'd still take functionality over looks though.
