Uh huh..............

I just peeled a 140 off a bike I bought a while ago. It had chicken strips 2" wide on each side (because the side tread profile was about 92 degrees. It was flat in the middle too. It also had burned through the chain guard. Must have handle great. It looked so silly I should have taken a picture of it.

Stay close to stock 120 or maybe 130

roy you use an extended swingarm don't you. so you have more tire clearance up front then most stock lentgh swingarms. i have put 140's on for people myself because thats what they wanted but i had to pull the axle all the way to the back to prevent the tire rubbing if i remember right.

I ought to measure there. When I got the bike the tire rubbed the chain and had a nice designon the side.
