What did you do to your other motorcycle today ?

Finished up the front end of my 1985 V-Max rebuild. Fan switch and rear shocks and she will be ready

Today I scrubbed in some new HH pads I put on up front yesterday after reassembling my new gauges and putting them back on. Rode 196 miles getting 33+ mpg. I proved the new speedo goes beyond 85. I’m running 5,000 revs @ 80 mph. 5,000 revs on the Busa is 95 mph. Wish it had bigger tires. The rear is a lil bigger than our fronts @ 130/18 and the front is a 100 or 110/19. Very skinny and noticeable above 90.

Can you get one size wider on the rear?
It could add some stability.
One size taller will be like a -2 rear sprocket.

-2 for a taller tire or +2? It’s already a 130/90/18. Can’t go wider due to the swingarm.

The joys of having a bike designed in the '70s and their narrow tires which in the day were biased ply.

Makes me wonder how we rode the crap out of them back in the day....
