    Biggest tire you can put on gs1150 rear wheel?

    Hey I have just bought an 85 gs1150 and it needs tires. I want to put the biggest on the rear I can without bulging. Ive heard different things from people. Some say 150 some say you can get away with a 160 cause thats when you can get alot stickier better tire. What do you guys think. This thing is a tire burner now. Also I am looking for a good source for a 530 conversion kit, I want to get better low end gearing. Any suggestions?

    Do you have the 3" or the 3.5" wheel? Stick with a 140 or 150 on the 3" and you can squeeze a 160 on the 3.5" wheel as long as you don't go to radials.

      http://z1enterprises.com is the best source for chain and sprocket conversions and advice. You'll need to call and discuss the conversion to make sure you get the right stuff, but Z1 will take excellent care of you.
