| Has anybody tried running a 110 or wider tire on the front. Will anything larger than a 110 even fit? Just curious.

I havent run a 110 but I have had one on there { custom plastic fender}. Dont know if it will fit in a stock fender.

| I was concerned about the tire fitting between the fork legs. I was expecting the loss of the fender. I'll make one custom or go without. The plan is to lace a 2.15x18 rear rim to the front using XS360 front wheel spokes.

| I run a 110/80-19 front with a fork brace, about a 1/2 inch on each side from the forks.

Yup, I also run a 110/19 its a Dunlop D404 to be exact, and a 120/18 rear. Works fine and looks great.

| The tires make the look of the bike if you ask me, the skinny ones on it when I got it were nothing compared to these and they are not much bigger either! |

I'm planning to lace a spare rear 18" rim to my front hub as well. Do the XS360 spokes fit as is, or do I need to trim them? Now all I have to decide is should I run the XS650 rear wheel or the TX750 wheel on the back. The 750 hub is bigger, giving more surface area for the brake shoes, but I'm afraid part availabliity might be an issue.

A 110 on a 2.15x18 rim will fit fine; I tried that for awhile, but prefer the quicker steering with a 100.
