Youll need new spokes,check your clearance between wheel/motor

Do you plan to race it? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Likely need to raise the fender in order to allow sufficient tire clearance.

Or just run without the fender.
You know -- like Ed's 650 Beezer. :lol:

Good Fortune!

no no racing... I am doing the mono shock and an air ride in the back. I just like the big rim look in the front and the wide in the back. I was figuring that i would eather have to cut the fender struts and rase it or just leave it off all together. Can any one tell me the size of the hub so I can just do some math to figure out the spoke size?? I guess I can just add the extra to what ever i have now right? Well thank you for your help have a great day..

Go to buchanon.com,they sell rims/spoke kits

I looked there and all i found was a 19" rim kit.. But i might have missed the spot and will look again. thank you fo the info
