Seeing as we're on WIDE tires, here's an interesting zzr1400 I came across at a bike meet a few years ago, I'm pretty sure it's a 300 section tire

Here's a little better angle. The sport bikes have them on a shock and it makes it a whole lot easier for them to add these big swing arms and tires. It took me a lot of measuring and cutting and measuring and cutting to get it to work with the traditional twin shocks originally on the KZ1000.

Another "amendment" on the black 650. As its period custom, the rearsets had to be period and raask was the reasets of choice back then but they were italian who apparently had the smallest shoe size judging by the lever length, first pic below, so they needed amending. A bit of 6mm and another of 3mm ally sheet plus half an hour lathework saw to that.

Nice work on the rearsets and Raask are a classic peg, I still see them from time to time on the odd streetfighter, usually gsxr1100 based
