I haven't had any problems with the bolts rubbing the tire. Some of the bolts that came with the sissy bar/pillion handles were almost too short when I added the saddle bag supports.

Pirelli route66 are one of the higher rated tires,they made my Suzuki 1500 handle a lot better and also improved the ride which was already good. I have a rear for my s40 but haven't put it on yet. Check out the rating on tires before you buy.

I put these on my s40 front and rear - WOW! lovin the ride.

Re: tire purchase shouldn't be this hard Reply #19 - 05/02/10 at 13:04:16 Be careful about dragging these pegs. The rubber under the right side was cut back so far I had to "sew" it back together w/ some wire.

You can achieve the same result by simply installing a fork brace.
