        tyre spec and width is totally up to you, you can go up to 100/90 without fouling ,for spokes try the ones from tvs max 4r or bajaj boxer bm150/discover/m80

          what about 90/100 on regular 18" rear wheels. will it foul with the swing arm?

              The pattern I want is Michelin sirac street the 300*18 is out of stock and 90/100 is available so I was for a moment happy thinking that it might work with small tweeks.

                one more thing you might need to dent the torque arm /tension bar slightly to clear the width of the tyre

                  Won't that reduce the strength of torque arm?

                        Nicely restored. This was the same color and theme which I had finalised for my 135 back in 2007. But when I got it back from the mech, it looked like a complete shit. Color was something different, and no stickers with full of aftermarket spares. But it made my mind to take up the tools and start DIY again after 5 years. And I am happy and proud still doing that.....

                          To be frank, there are mechanics who assume their self to be experts in RX / restoration and apply all their so called creativity to spoil our machines (Thank God, my mechanic is not among that group)
