Default Australian Deuce

Hi,
I am from Australia, and was wondering if any one could tell me if and how i could get a 200 tyre and rim on a 2007 deuce without large modification or expense. I have been told it can be done and it will fit but no further info. Wondering if anyone can help with parts advise, size of rim, size of tyre, and other mods requiredetc. I don't have a great deal of knowledgable people at my disposal so any advise would be appreciated.

Best Regards

John

I have read heaps that it can be done, but never found exactly what is required. Most forums regarding this conversion turn into a debate regarding safety, non belivers and opinionists. I just want the short answer eg This tyre size/brand, rim size, spacer, shave caliper etc, preferably by some one who has done it.
