The standard rear tyre on a 13 is 130/90 - 17. Couldn't you just go up a tyre size to 130/100. Or am I just talking out of my whatsit ?.

Getting ready to mount a "150" Dunlop to replace the worn-out "150" Metzler. The Metzler had just over 1/2" clearance between tire shoulder and right side of the swing-arm. When I get the Dunlop mounted I'll confirm it's clearance.
In the mean time I'm figuring out some details for a "winter" conversion. :woohoo:

The shit us Canadians have to go through to ride all year long eh? Well at least the seat will be lower to the ground and you won't have to lean in the corners. Just wondering who supplies the spare tracks?
