Just thinking here....
Dunflop 407 180/65 bias tire and a 140/70 frontal Avon bias
You guys keep experimenting with front tires which, based on your own comments, do not appear to be performing better than Stone frontals
Why not try a Dunflop 180/65 with a 140/70 Avon bias front
I tried a 140 frontal once but my steering was loose at the time. I judged it did not feel right at the time. I freaked and took it off before I had the chance to experience it fully. It did make the bike handle heavier on the front. Just like most other cruiser bikes do. IE: the VTX.
I suspect that a 140 frontal should make the bike sit better on the long slab. I have always thought the 130 front is TOO THIN for the Wingabego.
A 65 rear may benefit the rpmage for long hauls...just like the 70 do.
Its just a thought, that I am going to try one of these days.
