Bought the wheel & tire

I did the same thing on the 1980 Mongrel I used to have. You have to get the caliper bracket and the right side wheel spacers from the Standard model too. I thought it was worth doing but when I sold the bike, the guy wanted it back to the 16" rear for easy to find tires.

Anyway it dropped the engine speed about 800 RPM at freeway speed. This was just enough to put it in the sweet-spot for vibration reduction. I found the bike to be less tiring to ride with the larger rear tire. About the cost, I had all the parts on hand so it only cost me a tire that I needed anyway.

Geezer

did not know I would need these other parts. Do you have extras for sale ?
Sounds like this would exchange with the 79-81 S but not the LH, am I correct ? Thank You ! Done
