Is it possible to fit a wider wheel and tire set on the rear of the k11. I know with it being a driveshaft that's an iffy situation, but i hate having this much power with such a small rear tire to put the power down. The bike is much lower in weight now and definitely has a lot more performance than previously, and i was thinking a wider rear tire would be a good start to really change it up. Is it possible?

Hello!

Here is described how to put K1200 wheelshttp://k11og.org/modifications/k12wheelconversion.shtml. Also look through the forum, there are description of installing K1100 RS real wheel to LT.

Best regards,

Last year I put a 150/70 on the rear of the '95.
The tire didn't rub on the swingarm, but i did have to remove my Remus exhaust can to install it.

I converted mine to an RS rim. You have more choices of tires. I like having more tire on the back. Only downside is there is less clearance when changing the rear tire. Glad I did it.
