Hola a todos, en México no encuentro una llanta delantera para mi Rocket III 2008, con las medidas indicadas por el distribuidor 150/80 R 17, asi me pregunto si alguien ha usado una llanta diferente? ¿Qué tan recomendable sería?
My 2024 Rocket 3 Storm Gt pulls hard to the left and after a ton of research, i found that's how the motorcycle was supposed to be made with the front wheel not being in the centre of the forks. This is to counter the balance of the shaft and the triple motors. I understand the offset but many...
My '15 Rocket was converted to a trike years back, time for a new front tire. Calls for a 150 80 R17, would like something a little skinnier up front but concerned about the weight of the bike, your thoughts ?
I have an "old" R3. I'm running an Avon Cobra 140/75 on the front. I've been running 38psi in it. I just noticed it says max load at 42psi. What are you guys running in yours ?
Just wondering if this is normal. Between 50 and 60mph, I can feel a slight vibration in the handlebars. Maybe normal but never felt it on any other bike. Maybe something is not right when they installed the front tire.

Ahoy mates. I have 16" tires front and rear on stock wheels. Any experience with with changing the size from 150-80/16 to 140-85/16? I am having challenges turning the bike at lower speeds and understand that a thinner tire helps make that easier.

I have been hearing - yes, through the helmet, over the wind and engine noise - a high pitched whining or hum when I'm banking in either direction at anything over 40MPH. It's pretty nerve wracking when leaning into a turn at 70+ and hearing this noise wondering if the tire is gonna make it...
After noticing that the front tire is wearing significantly more on the right side (down the the tread after 3600 miles) I took it upon myself to measure the space between the rim and the center of the fork on each side. It turns out that there is a 10mm difference between the left and right (80...
I'm looking for some weight relief on the beast! Haven't gained my strength back since by December heart attack. For the ones who have tried both....... which feels best, Avon 130/75R/17 or 140/75R/17?
I apologize if this has been covered before. Actually I know it has because I read it a few times. I would also like to thank the Captains that posted about this changes as I would not have tried this without the information I read here. I replaced the front OEM Metzler 150 with an Avon Cobra...
I just was doing some winter maintenance on my bike and have noticed a serious problem that is worrying me.
My front tire is wearing very hard on the right side. I cannot figure out what would cause this.
I don't know if the pictures do it justice. The wear bars should tell the tale.
But...
