whats the best way to go about this, i have a mig, but welding makes the metal super weak.
i can prolly get it to fit adjusted all the way back and let the tire wear itself in. that gonna be a huge waste of time?

Why? they will just slow you down...
Go 2.5, or if you really have to have wide, go 2.75.
do you have the tires already and they dont fit or are you asking if they will fit?, im pretty sure ive got 3 inch tires in my mag swingarm but its on a maxi so i had to cut the fender and get longer shocks to make them fit. i can measure them later if you want
spencer
get a murray swingarm.
Why do people put these giant tires on their bikes?
To pretend it's a motorcycle?
i just measured they are rated 2.5 but are really 2.8 wide measured with a digi caliper. i put them on to ride some dirt trails by my house which was alot of fun but they are slow on the streets

pretend its a dirtbike!!!
yes, i have the tires already.
ive got 2.25's, 2.5's and one 3 that ill never do anything with probably.
i havent mounted it on a rim gazelles are such a bitch to mount, im gonna try heating them up in my oven to soften them up
and yes i im going to pretend its a motorcycle, with pedals.
haha.
i know its gonna make me a little slower but it should still be 50+ bike.

its going to be a tight fit but looking at my wheel i think you can squeeze them in without cutting your swingarm, especailly if you pull it all the way back.
hammer it
my murray swingarm still won't house a 3in. gazelle properly.
Why do you have 2 speedos?
im trying to make a mechanical tach. or its just gonna do nothing.
looks cool?
i think im just gonna try and squeeze it, maybe we all will learn from this.

Sabat let me get some gazelles.
Yo, Sabat - the tricky thing that you're gonna run into isn't the issue with the tire hitting the swing arm (which it will, but that's manageable)...it's the CHAIN hitting the fat-ass tire. The chain clears a 2.50 barely, but will definitely rub a 3.00. Unless you can move the drive sprocket out further (almost impossible) then you're kinda fucked on this one.
Still.....3.00" tires on a Magnum would look fucking TITS!
Fuck it. Try it anyways and let us know!
i love the look of the dual pod speedo/tach. remind me of the vintage triumph and BSA cafe racers.
mike, 20 bucks a pop, they're here in milford.
