'11 touring skinny

[Idaho Red Rocket 3]

On my Gold Wing I liked to set the cruise and then sit back on the pillion seat. It really messed with the kids on a school bus.

Did you see the on line vid of the guy standing in a chariot with ropes(reins) on a "bar bike" going down the freeway?

Oh how I wish it would!!!

I don't miss the 240 tyres from my C109 Boulevard days, IMHO the 180 tyre suits the R3T and if it is possible the Biggest of the Rockets feels reasonable nimble ,old guys like me can remember when the 180 tyres were considered big, if the R3T was fitted with a 240 I probably would have had second thoughts when I bought mine, the 240 suits the Roadsters more.

Agreed, Ken!
OEM on my V2K is 200, but a 180 works much better.
Me thinks the wheel on the Roadster is too wide for smaller than a 240.

Any one who has followed a well set up Norton Commando in the twisties will see how well a skinny tyre works, admittedly on a much lighter and less powerful machine than the rockets , but with 410x19 front and back tyres, that's around 105mm wide they stuck to road like they were on rails
