According to the other thread the Metz 260 will fit on the stock rear wheel. It (the tire) isnt as wide as most 260's.

I also used the street slammers on my bike. Those throttle cables get a little close to the tank don't they!

Hey if you could I would really like to see some pics of that 260 on your bike from different angles.

By my calculations....
the standard 240 was closer to 230
the Metz 260 is really about a 245(7)
the avon was about 254
the 250 dunlop was just on the money...

many guys have said the 260 works with the stck rim but it would be tight, not sure if they had to offset the rim to work with standard pully and belt...
