Welcome from Texas.

The search function here sucks big time. I've found that using google and including hdforums in the title to work well.

Tires are the same size. As far as the bracket goes, I think you're referring to the license plate bracket/fender and they make fender eliminator kits for them to clean them up.
Think Honda trail 90 modernized.

Thank God because that thing is fugly!!!
It may look better in person (I don't see how it could look worse) than it did in the pictures I saw.

I hope your wife enjoys that thing but I doubt it will be a year before she wants something bigger!!!

she probably will but being 5'1/4" tall and the fact that she has only rode a dirt bike a time or two and that was 17 years ago, I wanted something that the size, weight and power weren't going to be to much for her. If this ugly thing helps give her the confidence to move up to a bigger bike then I'm happy with it.
