yes...first rotate your pics 90 degrees so everyone doesn't have a sore neck trying to look at what you got, (joking)! how about mounting it to the swing arm and using some fender struts in the back that mount behind the shock or something so you can slam it to the tire and still get wifey on there?

I dont see the point of a 250mm on a sportster....
I feel it changes the dynamics too much to make it worth it .

Chain alignment with a 250 rear tire

Hey guys, just a dumbass question, how does the chain alignment work if you pit a 250 rear tire on? Does the front sprocket need to me spaced further out to line up with the rear sprocket? Or is there enough space for the chain to just just make it past?

Thanx.
