I normally like my girls to be skinny & petite, but in this case, a slightly wider rear end looks MUCH better. Not to mention the improved handling. :-D

Before:

After:

I went from the stock 130 rear to a 170....and also bumped up the front to a 110 from the stock 100.

Thanks to Whitehurst for the inspiration to go BIG! :upthumb:

looks very good. a 130/140 just doesn't cut it.

I`m going 170 when[if] my 150 Azaro wears out.Dymag made me a 4-1/2" wide rim by mistake so I will capitalize on it next go-round. :-D

I couldn't agree more...180/110

Still love that rear lighting setup. Did you change the front signals too?

Tires look sweet as well, new wheels, or will a 170 mount on the stockers?

Hi Troy,

I'll be doing the front signals to match very soon.....and I'll post pics once it's done.

The rear wheel is new. There is no way you could mount a 170 on the stock rim. Well, maybe you could, but it would probably come off as soon as you lean the bike over in a corner......

The front wheel can easily accept the 110 tire though.

Where did you get the new wheel? How much did it run, if you don't mind me asking.
