Re: help puttin tire on swing arm!

yep, 3.5 needs a long *** chain to work in the rear, and will also keep knocking the rubber boots off your forks. they are too big and just too much trouble to run, plus they're not that great for stunting. the only reason i know is because i mounted 2 sets up about 2 weeks ago for a friend.. they are now back off in favor of some 2.75 x 10 IRC's. they were awfull for circles for some reason and the front one would jam in the fender and throw me over when i stopppied on them

the only setup i've seen them work adn fit welkl on is a friends motard that has BBR SP-5's and a BBR +2 swinger

i'm Running Kenda's and love them... they are cheap... 10x2.5 in the front and a 10x2.75 in the rear and that looks to be about as wide as possable...

Re: help puttin tire on swing arm!

I got 90/90 michelin S1's to fit. Got stock swingarm with prowheel rear shock. Had to get a new chain to push the rear tire more back. Other than that, the front sides would touch the dust boot on the forks, so I got Red Baron fork extenders and 2 Bros. springs to match the rear shock. Oh and 2.75 tube in front and 3.00 tube in rear.

As for the regular style. I used the Kenda 3.00x10 with a 2.75 tube, before the 90/90s
