Need a Measurement

[DEMMYM]

Can someone with a stock length bike please measure the distance from the front of the front tire to the rear of the rear tire.

When I stretched my bike before I had it 6" over, Now that I have the New swingarm with the 240 it looks longer and I need a measurment to go off of.

yeah. hang on just a sec demmy. i'll be right back

6" over refers to wheelbase, axle to axle. Stock is about 59.5" on a busa Taller (higher profile) tires will lengthen the distance you want measured, but won't change wheelbase.

 

[sweet tea man]

center of axle to center of axle is roughly right around 59". Thats eyeballing it. should be right around that.

Thankyou

Well 65" so still 6"

 

[DEMMYM]

Well 65" so still 6"

Ohhhhhhhh wait

I have an 18" rim so would I add 1/2 to that.

 

[Mr Brown]

No. Wheel size has nothing to do with wheelbase. Axle to axle is where wheelbase is measured.....
See post #2....

 

[sweet tea man]

agreed

But if I measure from Center of the rear axle, and have an 18" rim wouldnt it set back 1/2 more than a 17" rim seeing how the rim itself is 1" taller in Dia.

Axle center to axle center is not affected by wheel diameter. If you removed the wheels altogether and measured the space from axle center to axle center, would it change?

 

[BlueHaya]

no...you just have a bigger rounder wheel...the axle is in the same spot

 

[DEMMYM]

Gotcha

So I guess Im still at 6"

 

[Mr Brown]

Gotcha

So I guess Im still at 6"

Yes sir!

 

[BIG GUY]

That you are.

my wheelbase is about 10 feet since the front end is leaning against the living room wall and the rear axle is on my dining room table seriously though, what they said is correct

Its perfectly ok, 6 inches is average and as long as you are happy, we are happy.
