1980 CM200 Scrambler Build
Hi There, introducing myself and my new to me Twinny- Its only got 10k miles on her- runs like a champ! Was hoping to do some basic upgrades to scramble her out, adding a bit of safety along the way- Would love any tips, links and knowledge on a few specific things:
#1 Tires- I've been doing some poking around and am now even more confused on tire sizing and whats worse, availability- Starting with the rear tire, which is 3.5x16 on the factory wheel. I would like to stuff in there a bit more of a chunky dual sport tire but not finding too much info on size conversion and even worse, not much of a selection on a dual sport tire to begin with. Anyone out there got any experience with this? I do plan on removing the read fender and adding some more space in there for sure, so just the chain and frame would be considerations for rubbing on a wider tire right?
Additionally, this is a tube tire, so what considerations should i be making with that ?
Mod #1 is done, got some tracker bars, new grips and side mirrors to bring the dork factor down!
After that, upgrading brightness of the lighting is a high priority on these 7" headlamps- That's project #3.
