Avon Roadriders

[kvdv_imp]

I just had the Roadriders installed on my '14 DLX back in June. Like you, I also used to run them on the '07 T100 I used to own (man I miss that bike!). The Roadriders are glorious, just like I remember them being on the Triumph....BUT....and this is strange....even though they have the same tire numbers stamped on the side as the previous Bridgestones they replaced, the tires lift the bike noticeably higher off the ground. It leans over quite far on the side stand now, it is far easier to lift onto the center stand, and I even can tell I have to reach a little farther with my toes to touch the ground at a stop. If I had to guess, I'd say the bike sits somewhere between a half inch to a full inch higher than it did with the OEM tires on it. Overall, it's not a bad thing, I'm already used to it, but there it is. Otherwise, I love the Roadriders. They handle great, they look great, and if they last like the ones I had on my Bonnie, I'll have no complaints at all!
