Cool Fat tire

Here's a fat tire for you guys. That's the biggest damn tire I have ever seen on a bike! It must be a 500mm at least

That has to be the limit on the size of a tire you can make and put on.

I saw something like that on a trike with on tire in the rear. Looked like something from Madmax. Asked him where the rocket launchers went.

When the hell is someone going to come out with a fat tire rear modification for the M? It seems like the M is the most neglected of all bikes on the market today for aftermarket modifications.

Why must we try so hard to be different.

Most newer stuff is. I had a Nissan Fontier a while back right after they came out. Took two years for anyone to come out with a lift kit for it. After a while tha M will have ll the stuff any older bike has. Patience grasshopper patience.

Hate to say it, but here goes.
I dont think there is room for a much bigger tire here.
I gave the M50 to my wife.
I went and bought a M109R.
Got power, got the big tire!

I think you're right,because the drive shaft is going to limit you as compared to a chain on other bikes. With a chain they can just add spacers to get it out farther.while widening the swing arm.

If you look real close at the picture you can see that the tire is a 360. One of the sportbike magazines covered the buildup of a Hayabusa that had a 330 put on it. Definitely a wicked fat tire.

That would leave a wicked wet spot down your back if you rode it in the rain.
