Now that the pics are up...you got my respect. Anyone willing to put that kind of money into a Kat to really make it their own is cool in my book.

I do see that the rear tire is offset a little to the right side, does that affect the ride or handling or do you not notice it??

+1 on getting that shock upgraded. be safe out there.

don't notice it at all ...It rides smoother to me

thankx for the feedback

Dude, bad *** all the way. That IS something to be proud of, at least I think so. I understand now how it was done and the pics are a huge +1.

The following is not in any way negative about your bike, just some questions and points about re-creating what was done.

Is that an 18" rim ? Looks like it to me, and I don't think the cobra's come in a size over 200 with 17" ? That would add to the tail clearance issue you were having a little I would think as it would be a bit taller than stock. Add to that the length, and yeah... definately would need to compensate on the shock. Glad you got that fixed, if nothing else the paint stripes it was putting on the tire was detracting from the big arse tire you have on there.

That offset to the right freaks me out a little. I'm looking at that set up and thinking it could be done without the offset being that significant, or at all possibly and still fit a 240 tire.

You mentioned they widened the rim to 9 1/2" wide. I'm a little curious why they went that wide. Looking at the picture of the tire straight on from the back, the profile of the tire looks like it's stretched a little bit as well meaning... the 240 tire is actually too small for rim!... Of all problems to have.

Going with a 240 tire, a better fit would be with around an 8.5 or 8.75" rim. I'd bet you could go up to the 250/40 tire without a fit issue with that rim as you have it set up right now, and get a better profile on the tires, but even then I think it would still be a little small for that rim to get the right profile. 9.5" would put the right fitting tire around a 270?.... Yeah, I believe that would be it.

I don't think anyone makes a 270 though...

If you can, measure edge to edge and see what the tire actually is mounted on the rim. I'd bet it's actually stretched wider than 240mm....

Anyways, again.. very cool, and grats on the custom ride.

man that was good stuff ..he did tell me i could go for a bigger tire...lol.

240/18R IS THE RIM SIZE..nice

nothing else the paint stripes it was putting on the tire was detracting ...lol. so right!

great stuff man!!1

Now thats what I am talking about! That looks like a first for me on a Kat! Thanks for posting pics from the rear where we could see it. Honestly, from the side view, it looks like a much smaller tire (170-190).

Looks great and congrats on a sweet bike!

lol...thankx man!!

If you were going for a cool looking ride then you accomplished that. personally I love the look of a big fat wide tire, practical or not, it has that "horny" affect.

Dude, more pics please!

[Cheriff]

Thanks for the pictures. Too many people make claims and don't back them up - especially on the internet where they can hide behind their computers. Needing more pictures to prove something is typical. You can take it as a compliment that what you did needed the extra proof to make it believable.

Personally I don't really like the look of stretched bikes (maybe 2-3" max) but that doesn't matter. You have something special there and deserve some congrats.

Now if you are really trying to baby-Busa it up, I say get the swingarm chromed and one of those paint jobs that look like riveted panels.

[justgoofin04]

That looks good.Always wondered if you could do that to a kat.

[scottynoface]

FI swap and a turbo build, then maybe it could be called a baby Busa...maybe...

[trash]

no prob bro,i have a 6 over swingarm in the garage waiting to be put on,im chomping at the bit to get it on her,but i think im gonna wait till this fall,after riding season...if i can wait that long.

[airforceranger49]

one word for you bro... SSSIICCCKKK!!! people are going to say what they're goin to say, but you've got a bike that is completely custom, and expresses yourself, which is the purpose when customizing ... whether it be a car, bike, or whatever. big ups for actually having the kahuna's to actually see it through, and succeeding where many other's have failed... how much did it run ya, if you dont mind me asking?
