Chuck I may be wrong on that because my bro was the one who has the F3. I was just thinking in terms of me running 190's on my 600 when stock is 2 sizes down. So I apologize for the misguide guys!

But yes.... I'd love Johnson to prove me wrong....at the track of all places!

if you really want to do it i suggest doing the rear wheel swap to 900rr. heres the link to the guy that did it

So in order to put a 900RR wheel on my F3 I need to modify the rim flange?
