Dunlop D404, size, side, rim, diameter, width

130/90-15  BW  3.00  --  23.95 x 5.15
140/90-15  BW  3.50  --  24.73 x 5.85
150/90-15  BW  4.00  --  25.60 x 6.02
150/90-15  WW 4.00  --  25.60 x 6.05

It LOOKS that a 150/90 versus the 140/90 only adds clearance by 0.44" height and 0.10" width.

The catch is that we have a 15" x 2.75" rim -- we are already too narrow for the 130/90.  I do not know what problems we may or may not have with the wide tire on a narrow rim.  Which is why I like the 140/80-15 ME880 and performance versus wide "looks."

Good Point lol ill get some pics done over the w/e and get them on asap.
earlytimz was that rear light and mudguard set up from blue collar bobbers? if so was it as easy to fit as they say it is?

I like the apes youve put on her i think im gonna put some drag bars on with 4"risers. and prolly a double spotlight front.
also matey ilike the extended foot pegs possible to get a close up photo please?
Paladin im running on a 140/80 me880 and i was wondering if a 150/80 would make a subtle difference plus i like the idea of having as much rubber contact with the floor as possible without compramising handling
Do any of you guys think the rear shocks look odd not being pu at same distance apart or is it just me coz im thinking about extending the  brake side shock to match the other side and putting number plate on brake side too.

did a dunlop 404 WW 150/90 rear which looks good but is way too tall and would rub on the swing arm at high speed. so a 150/80 would be just as good if you're not using the stock fender. some have gone as far as 160, but it requires a chain drive and some other work. built the license plate and light holder out or scrap and bolted to the axle. use a fairly thick gauge metal to keep it from shaking around or breaking. fender is off a xs650 my friend is building, hammered and hacked  

made the seat mount from angle iron split and drilled, had to increase the angle on it too. bending it the way i did also gave me a nice place to put some turn signals. front seat mount is a couple of L shaped pieces.

same type on the front. a little harder to mount to the stock clamps but...


haven't seen any of front end mods like what you're talking. i'm thinking that will look real nice.

ps. earlytimz, i love my new springer seat, but i'm definitely jealous of your extra wide one. look comfortable  

NICELY DONE !

think i remember some old threads where a V.W. tyre was fitted to the rear...sounded kinda iffy to me at the time but life long tread wear!!
