Re: GL1000 race bike build
I am also very happy with ignitech, I use them on all race bikes.
the rear tire is a 150 / 60-18 that sits on a 4.25 "rim

Re: GL1000 race bike build
a 150 80 16 does. That is what I run on the 75. Only minor grinding on the swingarm web for clearance.

Re: GL1000 race bike build
The 18” rims fit the “bulge” in the swingarm better than the 17” or 16”rear rims.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: GL1000 race bike build
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.
