WHAT'S THE LARGEST TIRE (WIDTH) YOU CAN THROW ON THE BACK OF THE BIKE WITHOUT MESSING ANYTHING UP OR GETTING TIRE RUB, ETC...?

I'm running a 150/60/17...Did have to bend the brake brace a little though.. :thumb:
Well, either you're part of the problem, part of the solution,...

Mmm, 190 on a gs ?

Why is the only thing I can think about is those dolts from American Chopper beating things together with orange hammers  ?

Might as well ship off all the metal bits and have them chromed while you're at it ;)
