If your bike has the 240mm a 260 metzler is made for it. It runs about $260 on sale also

If it is a 180, you can go to a 200, but sometimes you have to grind the inner fender. I had to grind to get it on mine, but I mostly ride two-up.

I've got a 8" VRSCAW rear wheel and machined down 70t pulley that you could use to do a 240 tire conversion with. I'm looking to sell them, PM me know if you're interested.

Just re-read your post. I'm guessing you already have a 240 if you've got a 2011 NRS
