I’m gonna do some measuring when I get home but restless mind you know.

Looking at lacing 4.25 x17 inch rim on the rear. Will this fit in the stock swing arm? I know the larger diameter wheels won’t fit much more than a 120...

I believe you will find a tire that wide (at least 6.25") will cause problems. Better measure things, including drive chain clearance, very carefully before spending $$$ Ed
