My 240/250 Avon Venom just fits. The belt clearance is the concern,
it may be possible to use some small spacers on the wheel belt pulley
&nbsp\\;to offset it enough without causing a problem with the transmision end.
&nbsp\\;Carefull measurements should be completed Select the 260 you want
&nbsp\\;to use and get all the numbers, then compare to current tire. If you
&nbsp\\;find that this works please let me know as when I wear out my tire
I would go up a size as well.

I have been thinking about going wider but with my clearance I would need to upgrade to a chain drive.

Very nice bikes guys.&nbsp\\; Im trying to find a fender setup similar to the heartland or maybe even go with the heartland (it seems pretty cashy though) and am wondering if the tire sprays more debris/water/dirt, etc. with the shorter fender?

Default Crossbones Heartland

That crossbones with the heartland kit looks insane. It's without a doubt the sickest crossbones I've seen yet! Do you have anymore photos of it.
I've been looking to put a 250 kit on my crossbones but I haven't seen the rear fender hug the tyre like that. Everyone's told me I won't be able to achieve that look. Any help or photos you could post would be greatly appreciated. Again... Well done. Two big thumbs up!
