Did you have to make any mod's to the bike to get the 200's on?

Metzler now offers 200 for the 1300's and no changes are needed, that what I got on my bike, I love them!  World of difference.

Got them from a local bike shop, not a stealer.  I can try and post pics tommorrow, my son has the camera tonight.  No mods were needed.


Here's the info off the tire:  Metzler Marathon ME 880 - MBS  200/70  B15  M/C 82H

Thats all the info straight off the tire.  Hope this helps

But you won't gain any width (if any at all) because the slim rear wheel squeezes the sidewalls together so much it won't fatten out. You will probably end up with a taller tire instead of a wider one?

Oh no, very much wider, can definatley tell the difference.  Ask some of the folks that have seen my bike, can definatley tell it's a 200.
