I’m surprised you needed to change the inner tube - I found that they basically expand to occupy the space available. If you have the old one kicking around put 25psi in it and you will be amazed the size it finally reaches. And, tut tut, you seemingly failed to strap the centre stand to the engine bar to prevent your pride and joy toppling forward …
@jimbeam-eq8ly How much does a fender lift kit raise the front fender? Here I have raised it .25 inches. I just did a measurent and think it will clear. I will do some math to find out.
@Kathikas1 I think need to change and decided to change the tube are different. I was worried about the original tube's thickness to begin with. The replacement that I used is thicker than original for some puncture resistance and less stressed at tire inflation with the bigger tires. As far as the strapping of the center stand, I had sufficient weight on the back of the bike to hold the front tire off the ground and keep the center stand pinned in the swept forward position.
If you ever go on a clay muddy road that gap between your tire and the mudguard will clog up with mud and lock up the front wheel. Best to get rid of that wheel hugging mudguard and mount a plastic one to the bottom of the triple clamp like a dirt bike.
need part 2 😂
It's coming! LOL. I have a video with new gearing that I will be posting shortly and then walk around and brief test 😉

If you do the fender lift kit make sure you move the horn up it will touch the fender ask me how I know

I wonder what your top speed is now? I put a 3 inch tire on my rear and it seems to bog me down.
I made the mistake of changing the gearing at the same time as the tires. What a mistake. I will have that video up shortly.

That would look awesome, too. Great point!
