Bigger tires (Read 184 times)

spacealligator YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 3	Bigger tires 04/22/09 at 14:12:33 I have been searching around and can't find any good documents on fitting a bigger rear tire, does anyone have some good input? I'm riding a 2000 with the stock tire sizes.

If you're doing it on a stock fender, make sure to replace all the bolts with truss head type (low profile round head) or you'll be putting grooves in your new tires.
