Hi, all. I am new to XSs, have been working on pre-AMF H-D (1950) for a while. I just picked up a 1977 XS650D and am pretty stoked. It is currently running an 4.75 tire on an 18 x 2.15 rim on the back and about a 4.00 on a 19 on the front. I am going the opposite direction of most on this forum and want to go lace up a 16 x 2.5 rim on the back and run a 5.00 tire on it like an Avon Safety Mileage or Firestone or Allstate. It seems to me like this should work if I take the chain guard off, but I am wondering if y'all know if I am going to run into problems here? Then the plan is to lace up the 18" rear to the front hub. Thoughts? Thanks very much in advance for your help - I appreciate it, and am willing to listen.
