I just needed the custom swing arm for the fat rear tire, and to paint the frame red, and the tank and body work a dark metallic color to make it one.  The photo is before I added those extra things.

cool bike. I remember wanting one of those!
I would not get crazy about a
fat rear tire. I would just try and run something that will let you use 17" rubber. It is dufficult to find good stickies in 16 or 18. You don't need huge rubber for the relativley low HP of that bike. A 120 front and 160 rear (SV sizes ) will do just fine.
