I run Shinko 705s on my commuter (crf250L)
They are a great tire. Great in gravel and safe on the highway.

Wow! That's really cool to see so much attention given to a Magician. I have one that I use as an occasional commuter. Does that speedometer work well?

Mine fit fine. The cover goes on well too. I'm thinking maybe your chain is too heavy duty, or an o-ring chain. I have about 500 miles with this setup with no issues.

I have a 17t on the front of my Magician. I didnt do any grinding or anything to the front cover. I did buy a longer chain. The type I used was a T428H. The keeper is installed in the normal position.
