Stock width. Don't need the chain clearence issues. Bike doesn't have enought power to need a larger rear tire. Just makes it turn in slower.
No cush drive on the stock wheels. Most other high dollar SM's come with a cush set up stock. I've owned about all of them in the past. The Husky 610 was my first SM and the best IMO. So now I'm back where I started with a Husky and love it. The're selling these bike so cheap now even with a new set of wheels the're much less than a KTM or Aprilia.
I have yet to hear from those who changed to 5" about chain clearance issues or slower turn in and I would think it's worth it just for the way better tire selection in the 160 section then the 150... Love the black rims
My old Aprilia SXV had a 180 rear. That was the only bike I've had that could use that large a rear tire. Agreed the fat rubber looks cool but most all the road racing SM's them seldom run tires that large. I've run Pilot Powers on most all my SM's for years now. I find they're sticky enough and wear very well. Getting hard to get now though. But if you look you can still find them. Luckily I still have a few sets to use up.
I ordered directly from Radd. Came in less than 2 weeks. You can configure the price online. Lots of options. They did discount the online price when I placed the order. Only problem I had with the install was the front caliper hit the spokes by a very small amount. I hit the edge of the caliper with a disc grinder and everything was fine.
Hey Mark, Did you sell your stock wheels? Where are you located, close to Los Angeles? How much you're asking for? Thanks
