Hello once again

My question is:has anyone of you came across with a wide tire kit for ace 1100?
I am looking for over 1.5 year now but tno luck.Any help would be more than welcomed.

Thank you in advance

I dont think someone sells them that big... that would require swing arm modification and alignment issues it would have to be custom :grin:

It's shaft drive right? I have seen wide tire conversions for Gullwings, pricey though. I'll try to find info on the company that has done it. Honestly, I think they widen the wheel so you can use a wider tire, probably only up to 3-4cm wider than stock, just wide enough to still use the stock swing arm.

You can try www.cruiseconcepts.biz (http://www.cruiseconcepts.biz) they sell a wide tire kit for the VTX, it's a long shot for finding something for your application.

The one I remember seeing was a early 80's GL 1100 with what appeared to be a widened stock mag wheel. If you are willing and able to throw money at billet wheels, look into making up a new swing arm, any competent weld shop could do this, and have you drive shaft modified as necessary to work with it. Any drive shaft/ CV joint shop could help you with that. If a custom swing arm is of interest, you could look into a single side type, which is a popular mod in Europe for the Yamaha V-Max, which is also shaft driven.
