Dang it, just finished building my new '04 FXR and it looks like I'll need a wider bottom bracket! The 2.4 Panaracer FR tires are so wide (they measure as wide as 2.7" Mobsters) they fit the newer FXR frame fine but hit the chain in the lowest two or three gears. Love the huge tread blocks though, don't want to dump the tires.
I'm using an XTR Octalink BB, I think the spindle may already be longer than the standard 113mm. Maybe the 118.5mm version would do it...
