A little Lean Angle fun

[barbagris]

After some delay, here are pictures.
Bridgestone Exedra Max 200/60R16 on the same rim:
Tread width = 8.15in (207mm)
Sidewall width = 8.45in (215mm)
Circumference = 80.0in.

Metzeler ME880 Marathon 240/50R16 on the same rim:
Tread width = 9.10in (231mm)
Sidewall width = less than 9.10in (not measured)
Circumference = 80.6in.

Thanks for posting all that and taking the time to measure!

Looking at the BT020, it is a little on the wider side for a 200/R16, which is great. Also reported to have a very stiff sidewall, something I prefer on the rear.

Will definitely be doing the change to a 200, bikes going to feel quite different for 2020!!

Sort of funny, many VN2000 guys want to run our stock size, and some of us are going to their stock tire (the BT020 200/60R16).

Dammit - Wish I had the time to try as well.
