Ok let the flaming begin... I went to darkside and put a car tire on the 09 Concours!
Found a brand new 205/40/17 Nexen tire for $25.00, tire is a little shorter than the
stock tire but fits fine. I was worried about hitting the drive shaft cover on the left
side but no problems.... Dont get me wrong, it was a bitch to get on the rim. the 40 profile
sidewall was really stiff but after some time we got it mounted...
Did a 175 mi. loop Wednesday with a friend and the more I rode the better I liked
Rpm came up about 300 spedo is 3mph fast (65is actually 62),
but that is fine I just get into od sooner and the
bike really pulls stronger than before... Gearing change from the shorter tire...Hopfully I can
get pictures to load and you can see the install.
Al In New Bern.
