Hey Guys,

Just wondering If I removed my front fender if I would be able to run a 130 tire? If so, what profile should I run?

Thanks alot,

Brad

I am no expert but

For the 1st gen, if you take the front fender off, there seems to be 3 to 3.5 inches clearance between the fork... So to me it looked like you could almost get a front tire the size of the rear one.

Never tried though, if anybody has, please share your exprience

Was it driveable at all ? How wide did you go ?

Even with the 120 front we had to cut the bolt head thickness in 1/2 to keep the tire from rubbing. Maybe with out the fender,Butt Why?

But Why?

that's what I'm wondering, too I see absolutely no benefit to doing that whatsoever, only downsides.

There really wasn't any real reason for the question, Just more out of curiosity. I thought I saw a post on here about someone running a 130 front or something like that, But really couldn't see it being practical. I had no intentions of actually running a 130, was just asking theoreticaly.

the only thing you'd realyy be doing by going 130 up front is reducing your cornering ability. most I'd go to is a 120/70/17.

Thanks for your input What would be the equivalent of that for 16' rollers ? 120/80/16 or else ???
