Well, after a while of reading about it I finally did it. I got a General G-Max 205/50ZR17. Put it on myself. It was easier that putting on a MC tire. Used Dyna Beads for balancing. Its a tighter fit but fits in there, no rubbing. Only got to ride about 15 miles. It is a little different. The bike wants to upright itself but its not bad, just noticeable. Rides good and smooth.

 

Good for you! I ride an 07 Fatty and will be mounting one Monday. So tired of having to put 2or 3 rear tires on my scoot every year. Plus I ride all year round so am llooking for that extra traction.

 

Don't forget to play with your air pressure to see what you like best.

32 psi cold gave the smoothest ride, but 36 psi seems to handle better.

 

First 100 mile ride went pretty good. There is a noticeable difference but not bad. About 30 miles into the trip I was comfortable and confident with it. Started with 32psi. I'll try 36 next ride and see how that goes.
