I have a 140/70 on mine & there's plenty of clearance. I'd take a pic but it's too cold, wet & dark outside (yeah I know I'm a woose)

[deathlucky]

[bubba zanetti]

Nah it's in the back shed, but I have to go outside to get to it.

A 140/70 is designed for a 4" rim so it is squeezed down about 5 mm on a 3.5" rim and is only 5 mm wider than a 130.  That's about .2" total or about .1" on each side wider.  Plenty of room w/o mods.  I have a 150/70 Lasertec on std 3.5" rim that fits with just enough clearance.  It's about same width as a 140/80 that's made for a 3.5" rim.  Some 150's are a bit wider and touch the brake rod.

I ve got a 140/80/17 on mine with the stock rim and havent had any trouble with it/ not much clearance but it works

dependant on rim, spacers,and abit of determination, you can fit upto 160 into a GSswing arm. 170 you need to start  thinking about GSXR swingarm/rim combo
