Was wondering if anyone knew exactly how wide of a back tire I could put on my bike. 75 xs650. I wanna go as wide as I can on a stock rim, without modifying anything (including shaving the chain guard). Any suggestions on size? Thanks.....................Nate

I think the 130 is about as big as you can go with a stock swingarm. A 140 may fit, but it would be tight.

Found a 140 90 16 and have stared at it till I thought I would go blind....Don't think it will fit without some hassels I don't want.....

Has anyone tried the Bridgestone Battlax or S11....??? I need a rear.....

What is the difference Dunlop 202 and 404...????

I have a 140 on my 80 XS with stock swingarm.

Mo650, who makes the 140 you are running? Is that on a stock mag or spoke rim?
