    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

ive looking for some advice i want to put a wider rear tire on and the stock rear rim wont work, what rim will. i dont care if it matches i want a 150/17 tire im looking for more direct fitment then fabbing up something
 
Just out of curiosity what size is the E rim? I saw a chart once that allowed a 150 on a 2.75 rim. Maybe thats not advised though?

edit: cancel that heres what it was...

tire size..................rim widths
140/70*17.............3.50/4.00/4.50
150/60*17
150/70*17

The late model 1150 had a 3.5" wheel which would work and has the same spoke pattern..
 
Take a look at the clearance of your current tire on both sides. There isn't a lot of room there.
 
I picked up a 3.5" 1150 rim for $50, I just had to have patience and keep looking, I mounted a 150/70/17 on it.
 
Brake arm needs to be modded,that is where it's close.Had a big 130 on one of the parts bikes.Some PO cut out the part that would rub.
 
Im liking this thread, I just put a 750 E swingarm on my bike, will the 3.5" 1150 wheel fit in there or is that a wider swingarm than the 750? I currently have my 750 L 2.75" wheel in there and had to file down some stuff to get it in as the swingarm I had before was wider.
