You will need to fabricate spacers and I believe the back axle is a different size.

Go to the Warrior Forum and ask about the size of the rear axle - diameter and length.

Better to go with HD wheels as there's more available.

Ok Doc,
The spacers shouldn't be any problem, but I do need to check out the specs on the rear axle. Thanks a bunch.

Wouldn't you also need to replace the swingarm? I know with my 180/55X18 tire on 5-1/2" wide rim, there's no room for a bigger tire.

No. I'm running the same tire and rim. In fact you can 'stuff' a 240 in there without modifying the swingarm (you do need to remove the brake stay).

To go from the stock 150 to a 180 you need to grind the fender subframe and often you need to slightly grind the brake stay.

If you want the 200 then you need major work on the subframe (grinding and stretching) and on the brake stay.
