How much air you running? I run 50 psi both front and rear. Very stable.

 

That tire will not fit under a stock fender. The tire is too tall so the fender needs to be raised. The total diameter of the tire is similar to that of a 23" wheel with tire.

 

Thanks .I am aware of the height and plan to use the Hog Pro fender adapter.I am wondering about the ride and handling of this tire vs. a 120/70-21

 

i run 2 to 3 psi just under the max rated psi on the front an rear tires, also i run the air in the shocks front an rear as the shop manual states for weight of rider an cargo ,i check them weekly an b4 every long ride,the front end of this bike becomes loose at 80mph cruzing, its like somone jacked up the front end an the wheel just skims at times ,only after the 21 conversion, anything under 80 the ride is mint ,was hopeing to try this tire out an see the outcome,,i tried adjusting neck bearings, frame -engine brace an rebuilding front shocks, got rid of a wooble but still stuck with this high speed loose feeling in the front end,,

 

anyone?
