New Windshield and Tires - TwoBrothersBusa_imp - 06-27-2017

Had one of these on an 03 Honda Magna a few years back. Finally back on a bike that could use it again and figured I'd give it a try.

Fitment is ok. I'll have a ride report when I get on the new rubber! I hope this rear 160/60 works out.

The 160/60 will be just fine. I love my Michelin PR3, and it looks great on the bike!

RE: New Windshield and Tires - the Ferret - 06-27-2017

Wish they weren't discontinuing the PR3s.

I've just refitted my windshield tonight the cold is getting to me.
The tyres on my bike are Pirelli Sport Demon in the OEM size.

I have that windscreen, and after trying several height and rake adjustments have arrived at an acceptable compromise between having it too raked (just increases airflow velocity at the helmet) and too straight up (turbulence).
I like it right against the instrument pods using Velcro patches to prevent chafe and vibration / rattle.

That's a good idea....I'm doing that!

Measure up 10" from the ign switch and cut it off there. It will be perfect lol

Been a long time since I've had a bike with no spools on the rear. This is some sketchy stuff! Get the rubber swapped tomorrow and mounted tomorrow night.

Couldn't wait to get them mounted! Waiting on a thunderstorm to pass to go test them out.

They look good. Weird sipe pattern, but tires look good.
