pilot powers

I had a shop install a 150 rear and a front. The torque brake rod didn't need to be bent. I've measured and if my eyesight is right their is a 1/8" between the tire and the brake torque rod. As far as the other side their is plenty of room for the chain gaurd.pilot powers.

The shop that I went to made me sign a "dangerous condition exists" waiver just to put a 140 on the back. I'm sure it's just for liability reasons, but still, I personally wouldn't go past a 140 on the stock rim.

From what I hear, the stock rim "pinches" a 150 so that it has a different profile than it's designed for. The results of this include more wobbly cornering, and faster chickenstripping because the edges of the tire won't ever touch the pavement. I would buy a katana rear wheel and do that swap. If you don't like the idea of bending the brake torque rod, the stock rod from a bandit 600 fits perfectly, and has adequate clearance.
