Hey there Cormanus,
I've not tried the PR3 on this or any other bike but many fellow CB riders are reporting how good it is. I am reluctant to put an oversized tyre on the rim as it will cause the tyre to deform and might affect the way the bike feels when cornering. Members are saying it handles just fine however I would prefer standard 140/70 dimensions if available. Not sure what options we have here in Oz but there is a set of Z8's at the local bike shop. I don't do any serious touring so mileage is not a concern however the cupping/stepping of the front tyre is an issue that needs to be fixed. I'm hoping some modifications to the front end will cure, or at least improve. My thoughts are that the front is under sprung for my weight and riding style on the bumpy local roads so my next project is to install 0.9kg/mm springs and emulators with 7.5W or 10W for oil.
