There's a kit from british customs for a fat rear tire, I think a 200.

So if he knows you propably know since you didn´t put the 130 tire on your bike and I would appreciate if you would tell me.
The tire fits perfectly on the rim so that cannot be the reason and I had mine installed by a pro and they didn´t think there is any problem, so...???
Or did I misunderstood something (I´m quite good at that)?

Harald-
A 130/70 front fits, no fender mods needed.
It works.
I've got 9500 miles on mine.
No worries.
Check out the pic near the beginning of this thread.
If you like the looks, use it.

Yes yes, I already did and it fits perfectly, looks much better, handles great and so on. Wouldn´t change back.
Just started wondering when somebody writes we shouldn´t use that "130" tire on our bikes, without any explanation of course.´

I've got the 130/70 on my TBS wheel and 18" TBA hoop, but I haven't had the time (or the weather, or the health) to mount her up. I've always had Avons since the original tires and I've tried the 100/90 and currently the 120/90. Don't know that I have enough experience to tell the difference but the 120 didn't feel any "heavier" than the 100.

That´s nice and expensive. Basic price+shipment+taxes makes it too expensive for a regular fellow like me. Got to stick to the oem one, but if I get rich oneday...
