#222 Gram (Admin) Musky took my beer! Admin Posts: 2429 Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240 4 Years, 4 Months ago   This thread discusses the Content article: Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240 I have a couple of questions Grey. Did you use an HD pulley for a technical reason? Or can I use a Road Star pulley? What size stock did you use to make the caliper mount tab on the swingarm?

I just used some 3/16 flat stock,as all it does it keep the caliper from rotating.   Logged     Find Me At:http://forums.delphiforums.com/theloon/start   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1138 hammer88999 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240 4 Years ago   [color=#0000FF]>Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #2099 Tazman1602 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 20 Re:Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Hey Doug and all, Doug do you mean you didn't have to cut the swingarm except for the tabs and cleanup the area? I'd like to stuff a 200 series under a project bike I just bought and if I could do this myself it would save me considerable dollars. Any grinding on sub frame etc?

Sorry about that Grey. I'll be getting a new rim for the 200, just don't want to go much bigger than that on the rear. I'd like it to have some semblence of handling characteristics when I get done.

Thats what I was looking for! I just ordered the 200 and rim from Britt's yesterday. I gotta make a post over at the garage on springer front ends and trail measurements. Thanks Grey!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #2127 EJ (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 47 Re:Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Hi, This is my first post, and any help would be appreciated. I have a 2000 R and love to ride. It's time for tires, so I have been looking at various sites about wide tire kits and etc. My inclination is to do it myself. Found the 240 experience by Grey and really became intruiged by the excellent results. So, can I go with an 18X8.5 rim, and will it still require a 1/2 inch offset to the brake side? Thanks and God Bless EJ   Logged     God is good, all the time!!!He created the wind!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #2128 Grey (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:Modifying your swingarm for a 240 tire - Poor Mans 240 3 Years, 7 Months ago   In a word NO.A 7 inch wide rim is all thats going to fit in the stock swing arm with a 240,and then you will have to stick pretty close to the way I did it.Its just a matter of room. If I can be of further help drop me an e-mail at (grey46@verizon.net) and I will be glad to help if I can.   Logged     Find Me At:http://forums.delphiforums.com/theloon/start   The administrator has disabled public write access.
