I have no clue what you can get on the front, but I'm sure you're going to be rubbing the strut bolts with the rear. Looks fantastic, though.

Since you are not running a front fender, you are only limited by the width of the front wheel.

Yeah i know (about the signal). This was my first ever bike that i purchased near the end of last summer. I was learning and riding really well with my buddy for a good 4 hours. When i get her home and my buddy leaves i decide to take in out on my own and my first right turn i layed it down. Im lucky though, only thing damaged was that signal and my right foot peg bent just a little.

We also grinded down the swingarm which i heard is the only real issue with this size tire but i figures going over bumps or railroad tracks that id better grind the bolts a little also.

I swapped out the under fender bolts with button heads from Ace Hardware so if the tire rubs a little no harm done. But mine is on a 3.5'' cast rim so it might be a little wider than yours on a stock rim. Just keep a eye on the corners of the tire, a little rubbing during bottoming won't hurt, you'll never lean it over enough to NEED that part of the tread. But if it starts to gouge the rubber and get down to the cords you have a PROBLEM.

Yo Cody, don't worry. Take it easy and ride & learn at your own pace. Worst thing to do is to gain and abuse confidence in the first rides. I did, and laid my bike on my first ride coming up the drive way. I learned from my mistake and now I get it to the garage with no issues.

Anyhow, I'm new to the motorcycle scene, and the only motorcycle community/family I got is this forum..

Lastly, I recommend you get yourself a journal. Log in your experiences, your maintenance, heck I even log the tools i'm buying to do the jobs.

Have fun and keep posting
