Well, after riding around on my new to me 2005, with the stock sized Metzlers, I realized how much more nimble it was with motorcycle tires. So today, I mounted up a new Bridgstone rear on my 2013. I had a brand new wheel as a spare, so I used it. Tomorrow I'm going to see if the 2013 wheel, with the car tire, will fit into my 2005 hardtail Rocket, as it's mainly a go straight only bike anyhow, and I need to get it up a little in the rear. It now has a stock sized Metzler on the back, and I quite often bottom it out on the sump, going over any kind of speed bump. It has a raked out front, and only about 2" of clearance! But it is a real hoot!:):):):):):)
 
one wheel has ABS and the other does not.... I am not sure if the spacings are right.
 
That's what I'm wondering, and the axle size. Hopefully it will work out. Pulling the rear wheel on the hardtail is a snap, so no big deal if it don't work.
