Out with the 90 in with the 180

El Superbeasto was already built with a rear 20o, 5 degrees rake and a 1550 engine with 9.2 compression and 211 cams. The bike handles OK as a chopper, and stability was not up to par with the 5 degree rake. First on the agenda, was installing a 180 metzeler wrapped don a 4.25” black powder coated rim. Uhh why 180, you ask. Well achieving a fat bobber look is always about that fat front. I ran 150 on the Blitz, it looked and handles great, the 180 will prove to be a challenge.
