I've read alot of these post in this topic and being someone that had 22's on my mc with a 255/30/22 I wouldn't advise bending the strut plate unless that's your only choice you only going to ruin the suspension.I had mine lifted 2 inches for 2's cause I didn't want to bend my strut plate I had enough clearance it didn't rub and I didn't have any problems with braking.If you want put big rims on your mc do it the right way.cause in the long run your gonna wish you didn't bend them up.
