Yep, your right on the fender movement issue, don't have to worry about that. Guess I need to do some measurements at the chain location. I have factory installed tires now that are 140 rear & 130 up front, I'd like to go with a 150 rear & 140 front?

Since the fender moves with the swingarm it shouldn't make any difference if you're under load or not.  The bigger issues would probably be fender side clearance and chain clearance.

Anybody install wider tires on stock 800 Drifter rims and have no issues with them? ie; rubbing on fenders under full load :-\
