Thanks for the laughs, and the advice Bandito2.
Um, yeah. (G)asoline is what I meant. yeah.

I have a 50cc LSR bike that I run the larger (rear) tire on the front, with the same rear tire on the rear. I did that in an attempt to use to extra weight to stabilize the front, and avoid the tank slapping wobbles.

It does work as I had expected BUT it makes for a hella nerve wracking ride on the street. That's why I am on the fence so far as to what to do on the front of this build.
Maybe a 10" pizza cutter or a 14-15" spoked MX wheel???

I'll have to give it some thought.
I'm not really into the fat tire look as in the Ruks you see everywhere. It's been done to death. Like a desert island, and one song (Free Bird of course).

I think the reason you don't see many (if any) Dark Side 150s is the only passenger car tire that fits is a 135/80 R13. That size is not available in the USA. I had to order one from the UK.
So a 30 dollar tire becomes 112.00 with shipping/tax.

I plan to get all that back when Chelsea is appointed somewhere in Donald's cabinet so it's just a short term investment.
Did I mention I also have about 1000 Crazy Straws? Those things are just so much fun.
