I done did it. GYTT and BT45

[nerSTeve]

Thanks Ken for the gentle nudges over the course of last year.
Thanks Jim for the help installing it last night.
Now that I have 500 miles on them, I can honestly say I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Feels almost exactly the same.
I can tell the difference, but I am good with it.

Where's my damn cookies??

Oh no now all the flame throwers are going to come out of the wood work!! :flame

Interesting camera work of the install, (and I'm not talking about the pictures above!)
I may go to the GYTT when my Hankook Ventus V-4 is done. So far, I like the V-4 better than the V-12.

I have no idea what you are talking about...

 

[sirepair]

Oh-no, you will certainly die in a shower of sparks and flames! ;-)
Enjoy!

How would it go over there with your insurance company in the case of an accident? I think using car tyres would invalidate any insurance policy this side of the pond.

860 miles since the move to the darkside. Lovin it.

Coming up on 500 miles myself and really liking it!

A friend of ours has a Goldwing trike,the front tyre wears very quick on them,it's a 130/7018, I wonder what size car tyre would fit on it?

 

[nerSTeve]

Huh... Only got 14, 427 out of the front before it cupped severely within 300 miles. Got a new one today.. That sounds about right?

Rear still looks brand new!

I got 21k out of each of two BT45s, and you know how my riding style is. Ride it like I stole it. It was cupping around 15k from local riding and start/stops, hard cornering, etc. but a couple highway trips would bring it back.

 

[nerSTeve]

Yeah... HARD riding and on the cheese grate type of pavement. TheDan just said he gets about what I got

 

[nhdiesel]

Probably the kinds of roads you are on. The same reason I used to get 4k out of a rear MC tire when others can get 2-3x that...my pavement up north was terrible.

 

[paulcb]

Try beads... they eliminated cupping for me.

there is available, here anyway, a tyre that is a bike tyre but more of a flat tread , the Avon Safety Mileage Mk II. I fitted two of these to my Vulcan Nomad 1600 when I had fitted a sidecar - with the original tyres the sidecar had a nasty decel wobble and a generally dodgy feel, now it is just right and doesn't really need a damper. They are obtainable in the UK , not very dear and will last a long time, BUT they are tubed tyres. I have same size back and front. They are however supposed to be for solo bikes, and don't have the disadvantages of fitting a car tyre .
