Default 200 tire on my Deuce?

Hey guys

I just purchased the Vega styled front wheel from
Rc components with a metz 90/90 on it. I want to also
purchase the same style for the rear but in 18 X 5.5.
I know this will fit with a 180 tire on the stock swingarm
but Rc components said they can offset the rear hub a little
and then I could fit a 200 tire on. Has anybody ever done this?
And if so. What did you need to do so it could fit on the stock
swingarm??

My dad did this on his bike. All they did was just space out the rear tire.

hd2000,

How did it effect the balance of the bike. I would think offseting it would make the bike pull.

I own a 04 deuce and would like this mod.

Thanks ,

David
