Most threads about putting larger tires on these bikes talk about rubbing issues, ive read them all (I like fat tires too)
I wish someone would have given you more advice, or the right advice the right way for you, I hope you have enough slack to get it moved out enough without causing other problems.
yeah :-/ but always on the sides. I don't think I read one about being careful on the back of the swing arm. This is why I didn't buy a 150 is because of the rubbing issue on the sides. Oh well, you live and you learn. The only thing I can do at this point is move it back (if there is enough slack) and start saving for a new tire (a radial tire this time)
