I realize now that on my 80 chopper with drag pipes, eventually I'm going to scrape.
One option is get different pipes, some kind of high pipe set up, but I don't want to do that for $$ reasons, plus I'm pretty sure eventually I'd burn my leg.
And even then, the kickstand would drag, I think, at some point.
So I'm wondering how much higher a pair of the high sidewall tires would get me. Like say the Firestone 5 inchers, or the Shinko MT 90-16 like TC Bros has that looks like a high sidewall.
Now I have a stock-ish special tire on there, a 130 ??? lowish profile 16.
Question: those tires I mentioned, they'd only be TALLER, correct? not wider? in fact I guess my thought is they'd be narrower? the 130's I have on now have enough side to side clearance, but I guess I need to make sure these tires I mentioned aren't wider.
Also thinking of the bigger Firestone 4.00 on the front.
Between the two, you think that would get me another inch under the bike?
thx.
