Title: Tires
Post by: Will-Run on October 23, 2018, 07:08:41 AM

I see that Avon, no longer makes a 130/90 B16. The smallest is a 140. Has anyone tried this tire on a fxr?. And if so, did it
fit, and what effect did it have on handling?. Did it effect turn in, holding a line, direction changes etc,etc. Positive or Negative.
Thank you.

I put a 140 Pirelli on a 1990 FXR. It is close and I did tweak it a bit. Runs fine. You will have to check maybe fender or belt clearance but they will fit. if its a a chain no problem.

I have a 140/16 Avon Cobra on the rear of my FXR, has clearance and handles great. I haven't had a passenger on it so don't know if it would rub or not.
