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?

Hi
My swing arm is an after market under braced aluminium + 6 swing arm and the other one is the standard honda swing arm I believe

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
