Okay, I am finally back. I only did about 12 miles on the freeway at speed (100 miles total) but no wobbles whatsoever. There are pluses and minuses in my book with this tire. Lets talk about pluses first.

It looks beefy and fat! It soaks up the road bumps much better and the bike feels a lot more stable. When I first went out the tire was at 40PSI and I thought I would give it a try. Too much air, hard as a rock. I put it back down to 36 which is max psi listed on the side wall and it was much better. It rides great. It has been several years since I have ridden on anything but a 90/21 stretched on a 21x3 with the exception of the 90/21 on the 3.5. this tire is a "blem" and it really looks pretty darn good. I am even yet to clean it off or anything. The white is a little off comapred that of the rear Avon, but not too bad. I'll do the Bobberevo trick with shoe polish when I find the time.

The only minus and I feel is that I really liked the way the bike fell into corners with the 90/21 stretched on the 3.5. It needed practically no response as the tire was stretched so far, but I think this is also the reason I suffered from super wobbles and a near tank slapper on the freeway at about 90. The bike steers fine with this tire, just a little different.

Final consensus is that for a 21x3.5" rim this is the tire to use if you insist on running white walls. I am going to order a few extras so I have them just in case I need one and they are not readily available. I took some pics with a friends super powered camera and am waiting on him to load them to the server and I will post them.

man I hope you can get your hands on one for me!! it does look FAT on that wheel! Looks great Drew, who cares if it needs alittle polish!

 

I had always heard of people compainging of the front end feeling heavy, but i did the whole front end at the same time dropped 2", 21" installed and vee rubber all at once did have to do anything to adjust it still feels like im riding a stock bike hahahaha

 

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the front feels heavy. I do remember when I put my 21x3 on the wheel was much heavier than the stock fatboy rim, but I was adjusted to that in a few minutes. My bike feels great. I am only kicking myself for not getting a few of these at the same time so I wouldn't have to hassle with it next time I need one.

Glad to hear the tires are worth it! Keep us posted, Drew.

 

Guys, Bobber has been telling all of us that this tire works good for quite a while now. Thats why I bought one when I put the 21x3.5 on my Lux. I didnt want to risk putting the skinny tire that is not designed for the wider wheel. I am totally happy with the way it feels at any speed. Also love the how it fills the fender. Drew, good to here that the blems look good. What was the cost for the blem tire VS a non blem. I paid $320 shipped for a non blem tire. Also can you notice where the blemish is on the tire? Hopefully VEE Rubber doesnt sell blems that may come apart, especialy how fast we ride.

Its not really that they dont sell many drew its that its not just the softail guys running the 21's i see a gang of rk's with them and everyone is jumping on the shipments right meow. But nah i was refering to how some people werent happy with it feeling heavy and i always just thought it was the 90 being streched as the cause bro. But aye im glad more people are digging the tire its a great tire.

 

Vee Rubber is used alot buy chopper builders. We have a builder here in Central Oregon that runs them on the baggers he builds with 23s and 26s. Blackwall of coarse. But the tire is good solid quality.

The blems are 100% structurally sound! They just have a cosmetic flaw. I have two sitting in my garage right now, and they look pretty darn good.

 

So there are no issues with this tire rubbing the fender at all? Just checking.
