Is that the 210 on the 17" wheel? I saw one for an 18 inch wheel, but only was 40 on the side....

I would change my swingarm and pulley/belt to go to a 220 if I could. Maybe I'll get bored and try it this winter........

you wont be able too with the heartland 200 kit ........i had to grind the bolts on the struts just to be able to slam the 210 with air ride and if i remember right you got the shotgun shock ...so the tire would hit the fender on the sides wit a 220

Well I haven't painted the rear fender yet, I wonder if I could make it wider. My big concern would be the swingarm. I'd have to widen that without compromising the structural strength of it....... Oh well, it was fun thinking about it. I better not get drunk near my bike anytime soon, I might do something stupid to my swingarm..... O_o

Yeahhhhh, wife wants a cancun sandals trip now.......... Oh well, it's worth it and I love doing the work on my bike. It's funny when she asked what the hell I was buying, I sounded like her, "but I got em on sale honey..." haha

Heartland kit for 1260, shotgun shocks for 1000, and some wheels with tires mounted and balanced for 1500. I'm done now, except little things....... I hope..... Going to take over a month to get it all painted, receive it all, and install it, but that's what winters are for I guess.

regards,

Dale

Here is a stock tire (right) and a Avon Cobra (left).
Both are 200R 55 R17.

NOTE: My bike is lowered about 2" in the rear.
My buddies Train is at stock height.

BTW, I'm going with the Cobra here soon..........
