Hi,
There is not much space in the rear, like an inch or so before tire starts rubbing against something, but I'd like to find out if anyone knows of a wheel from another bike that could fit, essentially a direct swap, and would be a bit wider, just enough to fill that gap. I'm not looking to replace the swingarm, was just wondering if there were wheels out there that could fit. I know it's a tall order but thought I'd ask. I don't know if different manufacturers have different diameters of wheel rods or if there is a standard. I've always wanted to have a larger rear tire, just for looks, no other reason, but without rear wheel traction loss (i.e. I'd like to have a wheel and put a proper tire on it, not oversize the tire without changing wheel width).
Maybe something from a sport bike of some kind?
Anyway I'm putting it out there. Mine is a 2017 Vulcan S ABS.
Thanks,
Mark
