    It is not a 4.5 it is a 5.5 I had it checked. Also I am not going for performance here it is about style. This project is just something to play around with. Anyways if I want to lean/ race a bike I'll take out my Cbr 1000 so as you can see this bike is just a toy and I don't care about how much horse power it has or how it won't handle that tire. If I want to put on a 160,190,200,ect. than that is my decision and if doesn't work it doesn't work

    ok no problem, just I've been there before and by going w/ a oversized tire on my FZ caused me to crash alot.
    Just wanted to give you a heads up.

    I'm thinking 86 gixxer or custom.
    There are a few companies out there that will widen your stock rim.
