You need a widened wheel to 8" I believe, and a chain conversion. That is it. The stock swingarm fits a 240mm tire fine. And the rest is just bolt on stuff.

GrandStand Design has a kit but it is really pricey, if you read through the description all you are really getting is a widened wheel and their race chain.

I love the look of a 240 on an XB.

If i recall... they dont make a 17" 240 tire ( or maybe they do).... but when you have the wheel widened, they also and/or can stretch it out to make it 18". This will give you a larger selection of tires.

As stated above, a 240 fits in a stock swingarm, just need a chain conversion and widened wheel. The stock wheel is only got for up to a 200... and thats pushing it.

Any more info on that bike posted by evlxb???? A build thread perhaps?

I need a new set of bars, and they look like they'd fit the bill!
