A quick redrill gets nice clearance and no need to move horn
Are you running 2:75 s in the Shinko 241 s or are they the 3:00 in the 2:44 s ? I want to know if that re drill of fender will work for the 3:00 2:44 s. Have em ,want to put em on front and back this weekend.

I rode to work this am, 8F and went slow on the ice and snow. We use cinders not salt in flagstaff, the 244 3.0 tires grabbed a few cinders and you could hear them but not an issue. Maybe a Sunny day with a few cold ones I may re drill this summer, right now it’s isn’t that big of an issue.
The other slight issue is approaching 50mph the tire gets taller and touches the mud flap bolts and you can heat that, I was going to grind those down a few mm’s too in a perfect world, hasn’t left any marks on the tires and not a priority.
Funny story, I had to pull the 125 out of the garage because I couldn’t get the key in the CT-90, was ice packed!

Thanks for reply. It is what I needed to know .I put the 3/0 17" shinko' 244 on rear already,kind of a bitch. Changing front tire can't be as difficult.
