280 tyre on TFC

Don't listen to these fellas Ned...no one who rides a rocket of either capacity is allowed to talk about handling except maybe the touring boys on the 180 section

on my M109R and M1800R's I replaced the stock 240 to 260 and I must say they handled better with the 260, so wider doesn't always mean worse in corners and believe me I take my corners seriously, I'm a peg grinder on all my bikes!!
 
@Ned , did you have to modify that driveshaft feeding the final drive? How? Extra U joint???

That's some nice design and fab work you have going. Keep us posted with pictures of the progress as it unfolds. Great work!!!
