There is a link on 650motorcycles.com for a wide tire kit. It comes with a spacer for the case, and an extension for the shift lever. I am building a 200 wide tire rigid, and I have found some really great deals on ebay for wire wheels. It just depends on what you want. 40 spoke, 60, 80, or 100. I am going with the 80 spokes setup. Depending on what size rim you want will depend on the hub width too.
