260 lbs rider who has ridden a CB on a race track with both 140/70 tires and 160/60's. Both tires were close to new when I hit the track, by design. With the 160/60's I touched peg feelers on both sides and still had approx 1/2"-3/4" unused tire surface. With a 140/70 tire after a track day I had approx 2-3mm of unused surface. Also the peg feeler touched and the crash bars did not. My crash bars are SWMotech. There was a post somewhere about an engine guard scraping resulting in a crash, I'm going to assume that was a different brand/model. I discovered this thread looking for the actually maximum lean angle of the bike as I was comparing it to the HD1200 and the Indian Scout out of curiosity...Anybody know?
