a 150 80 16 does. That is what I run on the 75. Only minor grinding on the swingarm web for clearance.

The 18” rims fit the “bulge” in the swingarm better than the 17” or 16”rear rims.

no 4.25 rim does not fit if you want to keep the rim in the center of the swingarm.
I had to cut up the swing and weld it back together. Now I have about 10mm clearance.

Hello,
I like this build. The fairing looks great like the old Rickman bikes from the UK.
greetings
