    You gotta get a 26 or 27" tire for the front too. Works really good and would look great on that bike Like I say, mine a 27x10-12 and fits with no problems at all.

    I have an '85 200m, and the stock tire size is 25x12x9, the same as on a 250 BR, and I run 25x13x9 tires on the back. They are a little tight to the muffler, but the performance seems fine.

    I have a 12" ITP Alum rim for the front but havent got around to buying a tire for it yet! I Also have 2.5" Alum wheel spacers in the rear, that is by far the best thing I have done to my Big Red.

    I've got 2.5" spacers on the back of mine too, and that makes a huge difference! Way more stable. Looks better too

    I have 25/13.5-9 Vampires on mine now and they go places, work really well in snow too. Can't wait till I get the 27's though...
