Does my rear look o/k
Hi
I have just fitted a Bridgestone ML50 120-90-10 tyre on my rear 3.50 alloy rim,it was a pain as there is not a lot of clearance and because it is a 90 profile I needed to modify my rear hugger.
Anyway how is your rear and dont forget to include a picture

It sure looks OK i think, and i belive that you have more space between tyre and chain than it´s on my street Dax.

This is my street rear ended Dax, Metzeler M7teen 130/70-10 and i think that is as wide as possible without spacer for sprockets.

Hi
Yes your rear end does look bigger than mine, does the 70 section/profile improve your handling and what tyre pressure do you run and they appear to be excellent value at £29.00 delivered on the internet also what size front tyre do you run

Just a quick question - looking at both pictures - has one of you got the rear suspension upside down??? or does it not matter which way they go?

Hello Defadog,
I think what you mean is the gas shocks. :? No it dose'nt really matter what way up they go, and I personally think that the "piggy back" gas shocks look good fitted upside down :D :D

Hello Tufty,
Finally got my hugger sorted out and I think it looks o.k with the new 120/70 10 tyre. Could have got away with the 130.............just :roll:
