Motorcycle rear tire on chopper

[Chopperz]

Hey

Have a fun Giant Stiletto build that I've been riding but wanted to make some updates and cant find any info on this online. It already has a 24x3.0 rear tire, do you know if it possible to mount anything wider (ie a motorcycle tire) on a standard width rim?

I was thinking of finding an OCC stingray rear rim to use - but not sure I can attach the sprocket to that like I have currently...

Clapots:

What specifically are you having issues with? Are you trying to remove the actual rear cassette that the bike chain runs off of - or the part opposite the jackshaft?

If that's what it is, its the same tool you use to remove the bike pedals a crank wrench.
Here's an example of the tool: http://www.mec.ca/product/5010-744/filzer-crank-multi-wrench/?h=10+50002+50039&f=10+50002+50530
