You aint gettin no 200mm on an '08 without mods.......LOL!! I'd say 160mm and that's cutting it reeeeeeeeeal close with clearance issues with the belt guard. I have a 150 but alot of folks have gone with a 160 and either trimmed the belt guard or are fortunate and it doesn't interfere with the guard on some.

Good lookin scoots Chevere.
