I just made the bracket as I went, no real measuring or blueprint. Not likely to be the same as a new gen anyway. I'm running a Bridgestone RS10 110/70 without rubbing, trial fitted with a Metzeler 120/60 and that cleared also, #2 son has a 120/70 Michelin Pilot Power and had to move the fender up to clear. Even though the rim is an inch bigger the tires have shorter sidewalls than the 16" tires so for the most part your not changing the overall circumference. In fact the Metzeler 130/90 16 is 1-3/4" more in circumference than the Bridgestone 140/70 17 that I have on the rear now.
