Does anybody know if putting on the Avon 250 will require any cutting or mods?

Havent done it... yet... but theres a thread here about a goodyear 250 and he had to cut some off the lower belt guard. and someone said they had to trim the lower belt guard for the 240 avon but ive heard that goes on with out trimming. Im sure you would have to trim the lower belt guard.

thanks Yosemite, I'm ready to pull the trigger on this. I just want to be sure I get the biggest and best I can without doing a whole bunch of cutting.

I have a Dunlop 250

And a mean looking one at that Schimbo.

well I just said screw it and ordered it, guess we'll see in a few weeks if it fits, I love the tread pattern and I think 10" across the back will look awesome.

you wont get a full 10 inches since your mounting it on a smaller rim than it was designed for. It will make it taller narrower. but it will still be wider than stock

Thanks alot !

the 250 will fit, the only issues are the lower belt guard and the duck tail.

if you trim under the tail of your bike and trim the lower belt guard you will be fine. It looks amazing and will deffinitly raise the bike. Be prepared for that part. its very noticable but i like it. Good luck, any questions feel free to PM me or check out the other threads about the 250

LET US KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT AND POST SOME PICKS. Right now I'm leaning towards the MEZ 240 or Avon 240, but if I can get the 250 Avon on I might bite. The Dunlop 250 looks great, but don't want the extra work to put it on. ???

Thanks schimbo, be a few weeks before i get it done, gotta take the Mrs on an anniversary cruise and the tire won't be in before I leave.

You'll definitely need to trim the lower belt guard. When I put on my Avon 240 I had to trim a section of it because the tire was rubbing it.

 

[strykenshane]

do I really even need that lower belt guard? I've read on some of the threads that guys have totally removed it.

 

[schimbo stryker]

You don't need either belt guard. It is there to help you from getting your pant leg caught. Look at the low and mean bikes.... No belt guards.

 

[strykenshane]

Thanks Schimbo, somehow I knew you'd give me a quick answer, I think I'll just leave it off. Just got the email that my 250 has shipped, hoping for a quick delivery from UPS. I'd love to get this done quickly. I think it's gonna look sick.

 

[schimbo stryker]

Anytime man. The only reason I put mine on was sp my fiancé's pants didn't get caught.

 

[strykenshane]

you getting married dude? Are ya nuts? If ya wanna quit having sex just break up with her, much cheaper. Hahahaha, just kidding buddy.
