The Shinko 270 is a odd choice for a cafe, unless you really want it to look old school,,,,, and don't plan on cornering hard. Most guys that build a cafe want to cut up the twisties and see how quick they can wear down the pegs!(ahhem Dave, cough, cough) The 270 or 240's aren't built as a ''performance'' tire. I have a 240 on the back of one of my bikes, but don't try to drag the pegs on it. If you want to use that tall a tire and don't want to cut the swing arm, you can go with the double Kaw pulley conversion. Moves the axle back about 12 - 15 mm. I have run a 150/90 15 on mine and had plenty of clearance to the swingarm. Or you can go with a chain conversion and keep the axle back all the way.
