    They came stock from the factory with a 120, but you have a 2.5" wheel, so it could safely support a 130 if there is clearance to the chain.

      I noticed little, if any difference between a 140 vs 130 stock size on my 1150. It has the 130 on currently.

      No idea on clearance on the 750. Joe Whelan did a 750 with the slightly bigger 1150 wheels on it a few years ago. Not sure if mods were required.

      When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

        My opinion, one size up or down, from orig size will be hard to feel. Won't feel near as much difference as changing from an orig. size worn out tire to an orig size new tire.
