whomever produced those 1st three photos has a good eye :cool:

The tires are Dunlop D404 WW's, virtually the only whitewall that fits this bike. Good news is they're not too ridiculously expensive.

Good pics about the creation of a bobber. I wonder about the battery life when it is attached to the swing arm. Probably shake it's innards loose in a while.

Thanks kflint, do you know if the 150/90-15 rear tire will fit the stock rim?

kflint · 07-27-2011, 12:10 PM

Yes, the tire fits the stock rear rim, but you need to slightly bend the rear brake arm that runs from the hub to the front of the swingarm. It rubs just a little bit in stock form, but it's easy to remove and exaggerate the bend it already has to it. this will give you the clearance the tire needs.

those tires are pretty reasonable at motorcycle superstore.....hmmm.......

cayuse · 07-28-2011, 05:07 PM

me thinks that this rear tire will only fit if you remove the rear frame rails, as in this bobber example
if you are not into chopping your frame off, you may need to look into Avon 140/90-15's
Blaine's been there:
