    you wont be able to go too much fatter on the rear tyre, as clearance between the engine cases at the front is pretty limited on auto scooters...

    if you get down on your hands and knees and have a look, youll see what i mean :)

    Just an update, I got 130s again, but when there naffed I'd still like 140s! Mmmm chunky!

    Are any of you chaps/chapess's running 140s? Would you mind measuring the with at the widest point on the tread just so I can see if I'll have enough clearance!?
    Thanks all! ;)
