Has any of the Dark Siders tried this 140 front tire? It's interesting how 1 cm of tire width can make such big change.

silly i know but will this 140 effect the abs ?

NO. If you keep the back tire at the stock size the difference in the smaller front tire is within the ABS tolerance to work correctly.

I take it you are talking about Roadsters here? Does the 140 up front have the same effect on touring and other models?

Does having white walls help?...........yes I am kidding.

Yes Roadsters sir. White walls slow anything down.

I was having a low speed head shake at around 42 MPH when decelerating,

The original Metz lasted 13,250 miles but it was cupped pretty bad

That'l dewit

No, and it'll work with the larger Excedra Max rear.

The difference is very noticeable even on darkside. I also have the 140 avon and will stay with it. As stated it feels much lighter and more responsive.

Well since I am just over 200 miles on the bike it will be awhile, but when the time comes sound like the thing to do.

Getting 140 front and 240 rear cobras mounted tomorrow. Looking forward to not having originals on.
