I don't like those tyres. It all looks a bit stumpy...like there are bits missing.

Er.....I quite like it.....sorry chaps...must say I agree the the handling is probably a bit........funny...

Did the same to my Dyna - laced a rear rim to my front hub so I got a 16" 130 section front tyre in place of a 90 section 21" and that made it turn real nice...wink

After

Can't say I know what the Off tarmac handling is like though !

Yeah no trouble on a road bike , yours looks great JT, my DRZ has a fat 19" for the road but a rear knobbly is just a bit ????? .... I dunno I think it looks like a 2 wheel quad!!!

Yeh, I've seen that tyre come up a few times on ThumperTalk.

It's the only knobbly that'll fit the SM rims isn't it?

I'm torn on the looks but since you said....

Yep, that's spoilt it for me - all I can see now is half an the LTZ400.hmm

It'd be interesting to see how that gets over very soft ground, the big front tyre should make it skip across the top of mud quite well.

You could call this bike a "Supper Retard", or some other less offensive name like "Supper Mustard". I'll shut up now, sorry smile
