Would someone please help me make a decision on either the swing arm swap and the 160 on a stock rim(18") Its driving me crazy as to what to which one to choose. 160 on stock rim would be really easy.
Hell I run a 150 on mine and I think it looks fine bandana

I had a 150/70/18 on my bike when I got it and its HUGE. Its quite a height difference from stock. It also slows accelleration but increases top speed if using stock gearing. I am only 5'8" and it made the bike too tall for me. It fit fine and didnt interfere with anything, but I most certainly didnt like it.

For info on the YZF swap, follow the link in my sig.

160's do not fit on right, you dont get to use the edges of the tire like on a 150. to a yzf600r swap like freeze and i did if you want a run bigger and correct. if you want even larger follow my write up to add a R6 rim in the yzf600r swingarm.
