    I have hayes offset triples,a 120/70/17 pilot race,and a 20g turbo on mine.I have almost an 1".My buddy has Ronnies old bike with a17" also I looked and he has about the same clearance.It really depends on the header.RCC's header pulls the gt35r really out of the way.Thats the most clearence I have seen with a 17"
