Am going for a scenic ride this afternoon, only rode the new slick tire back from Seattle to my friend's house in the wet

It definitely turns in better as everyone has stated and I really like it. The tire does have that lip on the edges which makes it a tad wider so I'm expecting more water being thrown around since the rear fender piece does not cover it entirely but almost .

Installed yesterday the Bridgestones front and back 240/55/16-150/80/17 and definitely can say you need no modification on rear fender it has 1/8 or 3-4mm gap! Also I feel the bike can make thight U-turn on parking and much easier to leaning in turns! Price was 450$ for two tires plus 105$ installation I take wheels off the bike myself! Only one truck is front ABS sensor is space out from fork with thin washer don’t loose it or sensor will tach brake rotor! Will se how long it last in future my original tires 8000 miles!

The new tires look really good. I'm wondering if you pick up some gravel will the rear be noisier. It may be needed to go back and space the fender out.

Maybe it will make noise will see in future but for now was trouble free! If I have to do it then I will think about spacers!

That and rain needs some room- I would recommend adding the spacers. It's very easy to do.

I think the 240 Avon Cobra Chrome is a goner. No mas, extinct. With the UK motorcycle plant closing down time to make other arrangements. I would assume although I dig the tire and wish it wasn't true, Avon won't make them anymore. I have been looking for a few months and they are truly...

That is close. I don't believe those will work with the rear Trik full coverage fender. Still waiting to try one under it if anyone has one to try a test fitting. Yeah, I'm not going back to the mud slinger.
