I will say the bike corners and handles very well with that narrow tire whereas the Rocker seemed to wallow in the corners and never utilize the outer edges of the tire causing it to get a flat spot.

Is your Blackline lowered in your signature pic? It looks a bit lower than mine. Also, I noticed you relocated your plate. Did you go with a axle or swingarm side mount?
Thanks again for your time.

When I first picked up mine I thought that the first thing I'd do to it was widen the rear for sure. But after I relocated the plate and lowered it, I think the skinny tire looks slick.

Same goes for the Slim.
Anyone try 160x80r16 yet?
That should be as wide as you can get
Under the stock fender.
I think Michelin II comes in that size.
