R3 big rear on R3T

[slidderhd]

Is the shaft drive spline gear on the R3t the same as on the Standard?

Can you put the fat tire from the Roadster under the Touring Rocket?

No you can not unless you change the frame from behind the gas tank back. Also the R3T has a 90 degree bevel gear box and because the swing arm is wider on the Standard it has a greater the 90 degree bevel gear box. You can however install a 200 mm and possibly a 210 mm tire on the R3T. with only 85 horse power at the rear you don't really need a fat tire. Unless your just wanting looks.

Even if it could be done why ruin the handling when the tyre is barely visible from behind

you can fit a 205 c/t w/out rubbing... I think a 210 c/t or m/t would rub.
And as Laraza said, why lower the handling ability for a fat tire that would barely be visible.

I installed a 205 CT for a while. I never got used to the handling characteristics. Tried lots of different pressures and such. Went back to a MT.

And to answer the question, no. Can't fit the rear end from a Standard / Classic. Different frames.

That is why I bought the R3T, the handling was superb to the fat tire version.
