i know there are other post about getting a bigger rear tire for the gs but.......
ya i was just wondering how to do it? cause when i do slow wheelies i drift all over the place cause of that tiny tire on the back.
anybody here put fatter rear tire on and if so, do you have pics? what kind of rim should i use?

no when you do wheelies you drift all over the place because you don't know what you're doing.  You lack skill.

Hi, my name is Turd and I just wanted to ride this thread all of the way to the TF.  Cause that's where its headed.

Change your rear wheel out if you want wider tires.  Just to save you a bit of cash and time; your still gonna drift all over the place.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I'm sorry, 505... I like you and all... but, damn that was funny.

ouch. i shoulda seen that one (or those ones) coming.

Wait.  Wheelies arent cool??

Yes/No



I think it depends how pissy poeple are feeling or something.

For the Record I wheelie. 

anyone that says wheelies aren't cool is a damn liar.


A Well Done, Well Timed Wheelie can be a very impressive thing.....

Yeah but wheelies aren't screwed up because ofyour tire size.  I can wheelie without wobbling all over the place on my TL with a 190 just as well as I can a BMX.  It's balance and skill...not "flatter" tires...

Mak is slightly less abrasive than cutting oil or sandpaper BTW.

Sounds like somebody is the proverbial squid then........

Govt. Squids.

it's only when i do really slow wheelies with one foot on my scrape bar and one on the pegs, maybe it's cause all my weight is on the back....any other wheelies i can keep stable.  i don't even know why i ask you people . haters.

I don't know enough to say if it would help or not.

Search: Katana rear swap

The Katana swap is in the FAQ section on this site, and on the wiki page someone else already linked to in this thread.

Don't worry about these haters, everyone rides for their own reasons.  I'd bet that every person who just ragged on you for wheelies has done a few dozen of them on their bikes too.

The Danimal is back.

Read much?  I do wheelies on a regular basis...it's fun and it makes my chicken 1.4 times larger.  That doesn't change the fact that 505 doesn't know what he's doing.

We're glad to have you back...because the forum is always in need of a more people who don't pay attention.

Wish you clowns wouldn't use the word hate, it's such an ugly word. I don't 'hate' you stunters but I  think that youse are a bit touched.

As for wheelies, a wheelie can be a thing of beauty, I've never done one cause I suck at riding & I'm too scared of stacking it.
