Great built ! ( Love the godzilla as well  )

What size is the rear rim? Probably 17" correct?

And the rear tire size?

Don't u have issues with the tire touching the swing arm....or drive shaft?
If not...probably then because u have a 17" rim and no longer a 18"

I am keeping the 18" rim...and am considering a 130 wide tire...while standard width is 120...hence my questions.

Thanx

It's a 16" (140), the guys at relic squeezed a 150 on, still cant believe it. Mine is so close to touching the swingarm
I have a spare 16" rim if you want it, free, ill send you pics of it if you are keen

[Speedster]

Ok noted PopGun....and thank you very much in deed!

I am going for a different look than you...so currently I am not looking at a too fat rear tire, nor a smaller inch rim..lol.

While it fits your bike nicely, I was basically just considering a slightly wider tire for my build.

The tires I eventually chose (dual Sport) was only available in 120 anyway...so I went with that.

Appreciate the offer though!

Absolutely brilliant

@PopGun
I seem to recalll your bike also happened to win a prize at Rim and Rubber?
Don't be shy, you put in loads of work share the recognition you received with the other wild dogs

I reckon Popgun's build trumps
