"Baby's Got Back"

[shilohsk8]

I checked and measured everything. It's not crooked it's just the distortion of the wide angle lens. LeFox had me shitting it for a minute.

Could you take some close up pics of the clearance at your belt with a tape measure in the picture? I'm just curious on the clearance and if you have any pics of the rear with the 180 tire could you put some comparison pics up?

 

[shilohsk8]

I don't have any close up on the rear with the 180 but I'll put up some picks tomorrow with the tape measure so you can see the clearance,it's night right now.

 

[Buell_Cru]

Thanks in advance I really appreciate it.

Hey Buell_Cru, here is that pic of tire clearance at the belt. Sorry I lagged.

There is like a 1/2 inch of clearance.

 

[keisersozae]

that looks like less than 1/4"????

 

[shilohsk8]

It's a little blurry but it's at a 1/4 inch.

 

[Buell_Cru]

That's perfect. I think I might go to the 200 just for the chicken strip challenge.

Shilohsk8, I can you post pics of your upper triple tree conversion? Did you do it yourself?

Ok I messured my 180 and I may have a just over a 1/4" (maybe 5/16"). I can see how this is possible but the crown of the tire is were I would think there would be a clearance issue. Can you take a pic of the clearance of the crown and the swing arm?

Thank you,

Hey dave here is a walk though I posted a while back for the Firebolt clip-on conversion.XBR clip-ons on an XBS

I'll post some pics for you when I get home.

 

[firechickenXB9R]

Thanks.

 

[shilohsk8]

Hey firechicken here's the pics let me know if you want to see any different angles.

 

[Buell_Cru]

My fender is actually screwed to the top of the swingarm on my '07 12R so I could just make a spacer plate to lift the fender slightly if the tire won't fit. I should have enough room between the swingarm.

 

[firechickenXB9R]

It does not look like there is a difference in my 180 clearance and the 200. Must just be an illution.

Thank you,

180 are at a 55% side wall and the 190s 200 are usually 50% side wall ratios so it comes about the same on height. Also it gets alot harder to loose the back chicken strips you start to run out of front..

 

[firechickenXB9R]

That makes since. Chicken strips! I dont care about them, if you want to talk about my "chicken strips" well lets go ride!!!

Hey shilohsk8, how did you get your foot pegs red? Are they anodized? If so, is it hard to do/find the anodize??
