Ok so I am building a GN250 ( butchering ) & have been trying to figure out what size tyre I can squeeze on the bum of this thing .

I have heard of guys ( & girls ) putting a 130 from the front of a sprot bike on the rear of them ...

any other ideas ?

I am aware that this is KB & that good ideas are few & far between .

The bike cost me $40 & a box of piss, I am also picking up another fame from a nice chap next week sometime as the one that I have was de reged & the cost of putting it through out weighs the cost of the frame that I am getting which is still live.

Get a tape measure... and measure clearance both sides of the rear tire. Then subtract a bit for luck, then subtract more for expansion, then you have the size you can go to.
