Title: Tires and bars Post by retired on 11/19/09 at 12:21:08 Can I match any front and rear tire, or do I need to buy both at one time for a matched set? Also how tall a riser do I need to replace the old 1987 handlebar with the newer bars to clear the tank.Will I need straight or pull back? I am only 5'8" and dont want the felling of reaching for the bars. Thanks |

Title: Re: Tires and bars Post by PerrydaSavage on 11/20/09 at 00:49:03 I have the stock 100/90 on my S40, but a pal of mine has the 90/90 on his Savage and I've Ridden that ... as pointed out it quickens the steering ... front end doesn't feel as "dead"; was snappier in the turns ... didn't feel like the (slightly) smaller tire hurt the stability though ... it felt perfectly fine to me! The 90/90 is common on Sportsters and when time comes to replace my front hoop, I'm going with the 90/90 ... |
