Not much of a "mod", but I will be building a stock H2 with lesters and want to put a bigger tire on the rear. How large can I go without rubbing the chaingaurd?

It depends on which width Lesters you have. I have the "3.00" width, and a 130/90 S11 tire just barely clears the brake link and the chain guard. Bridgestone's chart specified that tire size for 3" rims.

Stock size Lesters = stock sized tires (120 max in back)

Like Jim, I've got a 3" wide rear and Im running a 130.
