Hmmm,good point. I find my footpegs/exhaust headers/bellypan are all scraping the road far before i reach the edge of the tyre. . . :dunno:

have a word with Jaws I'm sure he can sell you "something" that will help prevent the "above" problems!!

Nope...already fitted shock spacer & pre loaded the shock & fitted stiffer fork springs to gain more ground clearance. . . but you tip it over a bit more and it all scrapes again,just a bit further up the bellypan. . . :dunno:

Ive used all sorts on all sorts of bikes(incl R1,Blade,GSXR thou & others)so yes,i have tried modern rubber and true,sports tyres have moved on...but so have sports touring tyres...
Sticky sports rubber is fine on a powerful modern sports bike used on track days/very hard road use-with ,of course,a rider that can use them to the full(very few of those around... )...but on a big heavy sports tourer like the Blackbird? Nah,youre wasting your money...
But,like you said,fit whatever you feel comfortable with. . .and dont take too much notice of what they write in MCN...!
BTW,you get 2-3000 miles out of a rear tyre? You sure youre not using touring tyres. . . ???

I could reply bl4hbl4h bl4hbl4h but it would only get edited by admin
ru coming to the sheep fest in august maybe we can have a little play d04l1ng .but do yr self a favor and get yr bike set up properly will ya or you'll have no fairing or footrests left by the end of the weekend
