Hi,
I hope feel I will be fine with it, thought I think too it shouldn't be hideous..therefore I will need inquire properly, undoubtedly without hurry too.. so on myself risk uppermost, of course I will be looking on infrigements..
Bye Bye

For me it took about 1000 miles for the square edges to round off so it cornered better

Hi!
common d.side is chosen for different it provides different things.. mostly both more lowered combined with more life, goes often better on wet/dirt too.. furthermore with lower price which never hurts.. so only hitch it isn't efficient on very difficult cornering, then like so closed/slow too or worse on climb too.. with this tyre it should be solved this hitch too, being designed/built for very sport use.. I would like your opinions/thought on merit..
bye bye

I know its counterintuitive but a narrower higher profile CT works better. Lot's easier to side to side in the turns.

215/60/16. Next time I'm going 205/60/16.

Rubs a little on a mud guard bolt. No big deal.

Best CT ever but too tall. 225/55/16. Rubs on the rubber mud guard and guard bolts. Raises rear a lot.

The Riken Raptor is very good also. Best Dampening. If you carry a passenger, they will appreciate it. Lowers the rear a little.

Yes, narrower & taller at the back is the way to go.

I like the wider look of the 245's so I take a hit there.

One of my goals was also to lower the bike so I suffered a bit more with 245/50ZR16's until I trimmed the fork spacers, pushed the forks up into the triple trees and took Bulls lead and put the smaller diameter flip-flopped Michelin Pilot 5 150/70R17 on the front to go Double Darkside.

My favorite LOOKING tire was my 1st DS - a GoodYear Eagle F1 "Corvette" tire. It was really 'square' and took 5,000 miles to break down the edges.

Unlike other MC tires, it continued to improve with age and worked better at 25,000 miles than at 5,000. The Toyo & Riken come pre-contoured and performed better plus the GoodYear is discontinued anyways...

Here are pictures of the GY new and when I replaced it.

I could have gotten another 5K out of it but was going on a long ride and I needed an annual inspection so I dug out some coins from the couch and got a Toyo.

I liked 205/50/16 too though let it go for more of doubt.. it should/could lose pressure more quickly, moreover support sections isn't quite enough.. I should opt for lower shoulder for my
fender is different both mold/size moreover for positioning/welded too.. so I couldn't go more 50/16 though less would be more sure, however I go ever lonely without wet..

 

[legsroses]

could you show left side wheel with drive unit reference too, with bolted piece specific zooming whose function I think is dust/wet protection or I don't know why else.. however I should know where precisely it should be positioned on wheel hub..

 

[legsroses]

so where it should be.. between those I highlighted.. where ends shorter white or other one..

 

[legsroses]

I think it should end in the middle of where I drew white.. I wouldn't be sure so let me know, then rectify my opinion if it shouldn't be so

I am not sure what you are asking but I measured my 2015 Roadster and the gap between the plastic and 1st ridge is 5mm.

Yours looks fine from the photo. As long as the rear wheel axle spacer on the other side is on correctly (grooves inward towards rim) and nothing is binding it should be OK.

Be careful if changing the total diameter of the tyres if you have ABS.
