Has anyone swithched out the standard 240 rear tire on the Rocker with a 250 or lager? Will a 250 fit without moding anything?

Also has anyone put python slash cut slip ons on a Rocker and how do they sound?

 

It's been said that up to a 260 mm will fit the rear without modification while adequate belt clearance is still maintained. Can't speak to the sound of the Pythons as I'm running the V&H's. I'm very happy with the "baffles in" sound...plenty loud.
Best of Luck

BTW: I'll be going to the Metzler 260mm when the time comes.

 

Yep some have including pictures and the size they went with.

TalonIIMN, thanks for the reply, I was looking at the ME880 as well but saw it on a Rocker today with the Hartland kit and liked the E3 better. By the way I will be joining the ranks of the retired aviators soon, I fly the Blackhawk what did you fly?

currently 23 years in, 4 active, 19 fulltime gaurd. gents I need your assistance. The rear turn signal burned out which cost 340 dollars to replace. I have been reseaching several options, any chance anyone has knowledge of an individual replacing the turn signals such as the heartland kit which I could purchase the OEM turn signal? thanks in advance.

 

Bones, I have an Avon 250 on my rocker with no issues.

 

Local dealer made a mistake this spring and installed a Dunlop E3 250/40 on my stock wheel.. I got belt rub big time.. Had to align the tire off it to keep it off the belt and that lead to rotor bind in the caliper.. Bought a new set of Rocker chrome wheels and reinstalled tire. Still belt rub in one spot.. Dealer is installing a new 240/40 Michelin next week for free. I think it if you have a really true set of stock wheels or billet machine wheels you can get away with a bigger tire. If your stock wheel isn't exactly true then you might have problems..
