Think i am going to go back to doing my R1 for a bit. And maybe fit a 300 rear tyre on billet wheels with a jackshaft swingarm

Mikey:- jackshaft swing arm has standard offset chain to a sprocket on the swingarm which then transfers the drive out to a further sprocket and chain to the rear wheel hence allowing fitment of very wide tyre.
