The configuration involves replacing the stock rear wheel and tire of a motorcycle with a much wider assembly, typically measuring 300 millimeters in width. This modification often necessitates alterations to the motorcycle’s frame, swingarm, and potentially the drive system to accommodate the increased tire size. An example would be a custom motorcycle builder installing this specific kit on a Softail model to achieve a more aggressive and custom aesthetic.
The primary motivation behind this modification is achieving a distinctive visual appearance. The substantially wider rear tire creates a bold and imposing stance, significantly altering the motorcycle’s profile. Historically, this type of customization emerged within the custom motorcycle scene, where individuality and unique aesthetics are highly valued. The wider tire can also subtly affect handling characteristics, often requiring adjustments to riding style.
