from memory, i do feel that the tire looks pretty wide. 6 inches doesn't seem out of the question.
Same here! (Cept I'm about a stone heavier) I've used Kenda Challenger 140/90 for the last 2 rear tires - i have saddlebags with homemade brackets - never had an issue, didn't change any bolt heads. Wife is about 120 or so (guess we're both a stone heavier)
- she seldom rides, but when she has - had no clearance issues.
I keep my shocks dialed up to the firmest setting
140mm = 5.52 inches , i never actually measured the kenda, but it definitely "eyeballed" bigger when i first put it on despite the same nominal width.
Slap that puppy on and go for a ride!
