100 or 110/90 when going to 150 size tires?
02/20/09 at 13:08:13
Those that have moved up to a 150/90 or a 150/80.... Did you stay with the 100/90 upfront?
Would you go to a 110/90 to make the front even or am I wrong in my thinking????????
In reading the board, I know others have said that the 150 gives better speeds, but worried about upseting the balance of front to rear.
Moving up in size is not a problem as I am hanging new fenders on both and the rear is getting a set of 440 11.5" to allow for more room.

I stayed with a 100/90 when I put new tires on last fall, and I'm running a 150/80 in the back. Handles fine and looks good. Now to get rid of the buckhorn handle bar.

Could you guys throw up a pic of the 150 rear? I'm thinking of going that way as well I just wanna see how it looks and the 110 front. That would be awesome.

yea thats mine next big purchase, a set of tires. I would like to see some pics of different size tires too and if anyone has some white walls that would be nice too...wanting to go more "bobber" style (low and a bit wider in the back and big wheel w skinny tire in front). I know alot of other bikes have to go a bigger wheel in the front though..

Black one's re-jetted w/. KnN filter,....feels quicker in throttle response, ... maybe a couple more ponies,... nothing drastic, but way nicer sound...

I am running a 110/90 up front with a 150/90 rear.
The front tire rubbed the fender on mine. I've basically slotted the bolt holes to allow for the fender to be positioned higher in relation to the tire. Once I solved that issue I love my new tires.

110 on the front,150 rear.I have also ran a 90/90 front doesn't make that much difference once you get used to it.The 90/90 handles quicker.

Thanks for the photos. I actually saw one in person this weekend at a bike show that had those tire sizes on them and I LIKE it a lot.

Demin, I like your chopper seat - and bike overall. Was that easy to bolt on with maybe making some brackets?
I'm looking at chopper seats on ebay (like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Solo-Seat-w-Springs-T-Bar-Harley-BSA-Triumph-C...
) and was wondering how easy they are to put on. Building a bracket would be fine, but i'm not about to start hacking and welding yet
Also, to you guys with 150 rear tires: could that work with a stock rear fender or should I just sick the stock size?

My Rear Fender is stock with a 150/90 tire. The tire isn't close to the fender on the rear.
Just the front with the 110/90 rubbed the front fender, but it was an easy fix as I mentioned before.
I'll try to post a pic of tomorrow.

Facebite: What exact 150/90 tire did you get? Sluggo keeps saying the one he tried rubbed the swingarm.

Thanks, I may have to give that a shot once I burn the rubber off this one. Maybe throw on a set of white walls too....
