Hello,

I would like to put a fatter tire on my '03 Sporty.
Spoke to a lot of people about it. Some say I need to
cut a notch in the swing arm to push out the sprocket,
others say chuck it and get a chain.

Has anyone heard of a manufacturer that makes a thiner belt,
and a sprocket and pulley that are designed for a bigger tire?

I was thinking that the design of the sprocket is not really optimal.
I'm sure you can get the belt out a bit more without having to cut a notch
in the swing arm. Someone should make them....

Thanks.

I heard a guy say he put a 150 in the rear of his Sporty. I hear thats as fat as you can go without mods and a new rim. Thats just what I heard :o
