Title: tire question
Post by jake d on 04/01/09 at 12:32:29

Yep, you'll be a bit faster at wide open. MINOR change in handling. Ive been running the taller rear since the OEM tire died. I doubt you can feel the difference. I cant.

Watch out if you have saddle bag brackets. You may find that the side rail bolts rub against the larger tire.

Me too - on the '95, the guzzi, and when the '02 is ready it'll have them as well
