WHAT SWINGARM, FORKS , AND RIMS DO U USE ? THAT HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THE SIZE U CAN USE . THE BRIDGESTONE BOPPERS ARE AWSOME FOR THE TRACK OR STREET SUPER SOFT LOTS OF GRIP MIGHT CAUSE YOU TO DRAG UR PEGS THOUGH
YA THATS RIGHT I GOT A BUDDIE THAT HAS HALF OF A LEFT PEG FROM RUNNING SOME PAVED OVAL TRACK

dragging peg is what its all about :twisted:
That's how we do it here. I run 3.5x10 cheng shins. $12.00 a piece. And you can run 3.5x10 with stock swingarm and stock forks. Just have to extend your rear wheel all the way back with a longer chain.

Stock wheels are too narrow for 3.00 tires... run 2.75 or even 2.50.



i run 3.00 front / 3.50 rear. I have 2" wide front and 3" wide rear billet wheels.



PM me if you are curious about the wheel info.
I have a stock swinger, ishock, sp5's on stock wheels
i have the tires off the vino moped and you can get them at any yamaha shop and i love them...they hook up great on the pavement and are good in dirt as well....(and the smoke like a mofo) :twisted:
The IRC that are off the Yamaha moped are impossible to get. They are on eternak back order. They are what I run on the track with.
I have all stock suspension except for stiff spring in the rear and +1 in front and i'm runnin 3.5 in the rear and 2.75 in the front.
thank you. I said you could run 3.5x10 with no probs. That's all we run here.
Here is a pic of my buddie's bike which is still stock swingarm and heavy springs front and rear. He runs 3.5x10 tire as well. So yes you can run them.

3.5 X 10 is the only way to go. Dont listen to anyone that tells you to run anything else!!! I had some 2.75 X 10s on and cartwheeled on my head!! 3.5 are the BEST!! I have war wounds to show it!!
