2006 Mastiff 300 tire conversion

[1REDOG]

Has Anybody mounted a 300 Tire on the 2006 Mastiff ?? If so what has to be modified to go from 250 to 300 ??

Swing arm, fender , drive belt offset ??

Why?

Well because 300 mm tires are freak'n bad ass Franky! Dat's why! All kidd'n aside, if you really want a 300 tire bike the right thing to do would be sell your 06 and buy an 07 and up bike, or you can get a rolling chassis and switch it over, I think someone here posted something about a 07 chassis he was gonna sell, selling yours and buying a different bike would probably be cheaper and definitely better in the end.

I agree.. I can't see doing that to a mastiff, just because of the metrics behind it. These bikes are engineered so well and so perfectly balanced I think it would be a shame to mess with that by that much. Jmo

It would be a lot of work for the extra 2 inches width.
A quick check would be to see if you have over an inch clearances each side. I doubt you would.

Some people will pay a lot of money for 2"

hell, he's been here since '09. longer than everybody that's telling him to do an intro. my humble opinion, not worth the headaches, let alone the expense.

That's why I didn't say anything, I remember when he joined

Yeah, right

Total BS right there, bet he can't even remember the color of underwear he put on this morning..

 

[bdm7250]

He can just ask you what color they were when you took them off him

Thanks For the Input , I have not wrenched on anything newer than an 04 Bulldog so was just seeing if there was a big offset difference from the 06 250 Mastiff to the 07 300 Mastiff . Bottom line my 02 Bulldog with 250 even though it was offset primary handled very well for me . But i never warmed up to my 04 with the 240 Right side drive . I have ridden the 300 bikes and like them , love the look of the 330 but not the handling so much. Yes I agree the Dogs are very well engineered as far as the Frame and geometry only complaints i have had is some of the electrical issues but those were contained in the Component not the design of the Bike . and yes i have been riding the Big Dogs since 2001 .. Motorcycles since 1977 .. so not a newbie ..
