18 inch wheel on an NC35
I have very little clearance between the chain and the tyre ( a 160- the shop made a mistake).
Has anyone experience of this? Will the chain hit the tyre at speed?
It's a trackday bike, not road legal and I have no way of testing it away from the race track.

How do they make that mistake? 
Sure its an 18"? RVF is standard at 17" although people do flog off the std wheel for the 18" VFR wheel. Didnt know you could get 160/18 profiles??

Going on the internet is like owning a gun... Just point, click, then shit your pants waiting for the Police to turn up.

Re: 18 inch wheel on an NC35
I didn't realise that the back wheel was an 18inch and had them order up a 150 Pirelli dragon for the (supposed)17 inch wheel. I didn't check the wheel size!
The tyre on the bike was a 160 on an 18 inch which the shop replicated when they found out it was an 18. I was so pissed off with the back wheel and the bike by this stage that when they gave me the wheel back I just stuck it back on.
It's been a long project this bike. Every attempted step forward has involved three steps backward first.
