Thanks Charlie.
That's what I ended up doing in that case but have always been gun-shy
since.

Hi Hacksaw,
It it isn't already, try moving the brake stay rod to the outer side of
it's mounting tab on the swingarm. Could also add a washer at the rear
between the rod and the backing plate for a bit more clearance if
needed. Most brands of 120/90-18 rear should clear no problem with just
moving the front attachment. Cheers,

Thanks John.
I take it there weren't any clearance issues either??
That is mainly what skeerted me.
I tried a 120/90 of another brand several years back because it was
free, only to find it rubbed my brake stay.
I'll be needing a new front and rear before my Son and I head out on our


camping trip in July and unless I hear negatives I'll be doing the "head


turner" conversion.

 Wondering what your experience is with the WWW Maxxis front tire
being used as a rear???

No problems here, I think I got 5,000 miles off my first. Had miles
left but since the rear tire was off for maintance issues I changed it
then so I did not have to revisit it for many more miles.

It will steer slower then the proper 110 or 100 sized tire. Comes down
to what sort of riding you do....carving & scrapping or riding on a real



head turner the whitewalls turn it into.

Later,
JU
