RE: Thinking about a wider rear tire

Again, we see people desperate to revert our bikes to a modern bike.[/quote]

Ummm... my 2013 CB1100 is a modern bike...

In this old man's opinion, I think it's great to see people modifying and changing their bikes. Keep it up!

Sure, but if it's unsafe, I'll sound off. There's a right way and wrong way to go about changing to a wider tire. I went with one size up, the 150/70, which is approved by Bridgestone for the CB1100's rim size. Larger than that, we'll be changing the tire profile in a way that adversely affects handling. Moreover, the narrow rim is going to pinch the tire anyway, disallowing it's full width and proper performance.

We want to widen the rim to match the manufacturer's design specifications. Looking at the swingarm, I don't think anything more than a 160 could fit anyhow.
