    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

And God bless Amarica. I need to get my atlas out to find that place but I have a feeling it's somewhere near Canider. Or am I thinking of Ostrayliya?

I can't help stop laughing at this thread. Why do I have the feeling though it's someone on here just having fun at our expense?
 
bilboblades,

You are taking guff because this question gets asked regularly on this site. And most folks here are more into stock chassis bikes. The question is probably best asked over at oldskoolsuzuki, or maybe customfighters.

With that said, there are significant problems to be solved to get a wider tire and wheel on a shaft drive bike. I'm a mechanical design engineer by day, and I've thought about this a LOT and I haven't come up with any whiz bang slick way to do it yet. I have ideas, but they won't be coming along any time soon. Good luck with your project. Post pics too. I've got lots of popcorn.
 
Madura wheel. Spoked so you can put a wider rim on. Good luck with finding clearance though...

86Turbo,

It's not that the majority are hung up on stock chassis, it's just that members like bilbo pop up repeatedly, who buy the bike first, then have the vision of what they want to do with it, with no thought of how to get from A to B

And, putting a wider wheel on an 850 can be done, however, it's done by people with the advanced skills to do it and not ask someone else how it's done because they had the ideas when they bought the bike

So, Bilbo - your solution is to sell the 850 and get a chain drive bike. Much easier to do

And, getting some English lessons, since it appears that you graduated from an American school. Try spell check next time

Oh, and if you don't want to be flamed, don't attack other members. It just might be some old guy that racks up over 10,000 miles a year (but only on sunny days :) )
