I'm pretty sure my axle shouldn't have to be that far back but if I take a link out of my chain it will be touching the chain stay or what ever its called

try to take one link out and add a half link... they are only like 20 cents. If that doesnt work you might have to get a smaller rear tire... Say a 2.1 nightvision faf

Half link. Even just one will help SO MUCH.

Downside to older frames/completes.

Like said above a half link should solve that or you'll need a smaller tire

I blame the huge tyre trend, some of us would rather run larger gearing and brakes than a harley tyre.

You might be able to run a 2.4 up front then keep the 2.25 in the back if the halflink works.... Thats still a good large combo.
