when to call It quits on mods

[RumbleRogue]

When do you call it quits on the mods? I'm getting my '03 bike ready for my first full season of riding. So far, I've swapped out the brake lines, clutch cable, pads, sprocket, and I'll be replacing the battery soon. I'm also looking to do the fork springs and seals, plus a Barnett spring clutch.

Right now, I'm stuck on picking a rear tire. The chromed swingarm, rims, and pulley look really nice, but can I fit a 260 tire without having to mess with the stock fender? The fat tire mod looks cool but it's pretty pricey. I'm not planning on any engine mods.

What do you think?

that sounds like some practical upgrades! On that 260 tire dream though, for an '03 bike, that's usually not gonna fit without messing with the stock fender, and often the swingarm too. It's a pricy rabbit hole that goes beyond just the tire. What kind of '03 are we talking about, specifically? That helps a lot with fitment info!

Looks like you’ve already done some practical upgrades, @RumbleRogue. For a 260 rear on an '03, you’ll almost certainly need to tweak the fender and yes agree with @SeaSun maybe the swingarm.
