hey zippy, are you running the stock tire size? How many of you guys running extended arms are running the stock tire size? I talked to the guy at d+G chassis and he said they are set up for a 6in. rim. Where would i get a rim like this, newer sprotbike? The guy there said he doesnt recommend newer sportbike rims

plenty of guys run really insane amounts of power with newer sport bike wheels without issues.how big of a motor are you building?youd be suprised how much of a differance a 2" over arm makes if the bike is lowered down.
run the smallest tire you can possibly run to get your bike to hook up otherwise youre just wasting hp.i dont think tire size really makes a differance on zippys bike,that thing would probably break a car tire loose if it wasin the mood!:laugh:

Jordon - I'm running a WM 6 rim with a 140/80V18 on the rear. It's a joke as the motor can rip the tire off the rim in 5th :-)As the bike will be for sale in about a week I just don't want to put any more cash into a REAL rear end for this bike.
