As I said, I would really, REALLY, appreciate having a rear tire that I couldn't just Watch the tread diminish with each tank of gas. I'm also not wanting to get Up under yonna and move stuff , BUT, for the savings and general peace of mind, I Would.. So, since the tread is almost on the wear bars, winter approaching, I don't see a better time to take a run at it.
So, I Want a taller tire, but not so wide as to increase the pain of getting it in there. And, I have an electric knife,, in the shop, it's a foam rubber shaping machine. I also have a die grinder and one of those Tire Shop abrasive wheels. It will literally sculpt rubber. And I did body work, I'm pretty good at shaping things.
So, what tire do I get, and what kinda mayhem do I commit upon its innocent carcass?
I'm sorry, that's assuming you Know off the top of your head..
I guess the question is Without any swing arm mods, and the fewest others, which tire would I wanna research, first? A shrug is acceptable.
In the FWIW department, the 05 ran the Dunlop , dang if I can remember the exact numbers, wanna say 140/90.. I'm on the Stock rear, soft shock setting, got the bags and brackets, no sign of rubbing,, I had enough room to get the brackets on without jacking up the bike or anything..
