If any of you are considering a bigger tire, this is my Goodyear tripletred 205-60R-16 . It is very comfortable riding. It did rub for the first 20 miles on the right front (swingarm). It does extremely well in the rain. I don't think there is a bigger tire that will fit without bike surgery or brain surgery.

Is that tire's tread as square looking as the photo makes it out to be?

I have looked at this tire at Sam's club Murgie, and yes they are!

 

[Psalmist]

Yes it is, but the ride is exceptional. You don't feel like you're riding a 'square' at all. Another giant plus is, the bike is now reading (Garmin gps) only 1/2-1 mph off. I think originally (stock) it's about 3 mph off.

Then it worked fine. For my style of riding, this tire is perfect.

It looks like his Wing is white also. It must have been a sight seeing two refrigerators rolling down the road!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[Psalmist]

Two Maytags. yup that was us 'cept his has pearl and makes mine look like rattlecans were near.

Before my trip I lowered my highway pegs for comfort. But in so doing, I can't lean very far on corners. Normally they are up higher and I can lean more. Of course not like Rails. I think his passenger handles might have some rash on them.

 

[Psalmist]

If you look at the highway pegs, you'll see how far down that arm is hanging. Works fine on the highway, but not so well in the curves.

I like that booster you have on mounted on top of your back seat!:lol::lol::lol:

Not yet, but I am riding Sunday with soon to be Darksider and I do need goals or I bet bored

 

[Psalmist]

Yeah that's my turbo for the next time we do 'the dells'. Wisconsin- beautiful state.

 

[Slim]

:thumbup: another happy Darksider.

 

[Wahoo]

Congrats on coming to the Darkside. Not sure I'd want to ride with those highway pegs so low to the ground. 4:
