    um i have a virago wheel on my stock swingarm with a 130 rear tire have about a nickel width from tire to swingarm if you have a maxim you should have a 16" rear wheel most people have 130s on theirs

    Edit looks like your rocking the seca and the 18" wheel lol you can fit a 130 on the back but might have to take a hammer to the shaft housing to make it clear but not much

    I've been thinking about trying to fit a '84+ Virago swingarm onto my MaxX for some time now, but have had no luck finding a donor part. They're on eBay, but shipping for heavy parts like that is prohibitive. If I ever find something locally I'll post up and let everyone know how it works out.

    In the meantime, as Y4L said, you can go up a size from the 120 you have on there to a 130 or swap on a 16" Maxim rim that's stock with a 130.
