250 wide tire Mutant About a month ago Alan sent in some photos of his 250 tire, Redneck Mutant rolling chassis. Now, about a month and change later, he has transformed his Redneck roller in to one badass looking hotrod Mutant Buell <span id="more-39"></span><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-50" title="Alan's Mutant Roller" src="http://www.torkypig.com/tp/wp-content/uploads/alan_roller1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="373" /></p>

The one thing I don&#8217;t like about Buell and Sporter engines is the big dorky looking cam cover. As you can see, Alan has taken care of that by giving the one on his Mutant a trim job. Looks much better if you ask me.<br />

<p>That  250 mm Metzler tire mounted on the solid brushed-aluminum wheel really gives it that old school hotrod look. Nothing says &#8216;Badass&#8217; like a big meaty tire. I really like the  Metzler tread pattern for adding to the  &#8216;MEAN&#8217; factor.<br />
