BikeBandit Boned

Over twelve years Avon has been producing effed up rear tyres for the Rocket, could not pay me to install an Avon one very slow learning company it will probably have to take someone getting killed before they smart up.

@warp has mentioned Bridgestone battleax I believe and he’s a hooligan so must be a good choice also, as the exedra max which I run on touring model and it’s a good one, v rated tires both.

I have heard Warp getting called a wanker quite a few times but never a hooligan

It appears BikeBandit will not have an available rear tire replacement for me any time in the foreseeable future due to the recall. They said Avon is not releasing or producing anymore 240/50-16 until they iron out their problem. Without going into a long drawn-out explanation from Avon and BikeBandit on what I need to do next I have a question. What other tire brand (other than Metzler) would go with my front 150/80/17 Cobra chrome. Something that has similar performance as the Cobra Chrome rear. Thanks

Amigo,
1st) Forget Avon!
2nd) Contact ATV Parts, ATV Tires, Dirt Bike Parts, Motocross Gear, Motorcycle parts and Motorcycle Tires | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC for your tires
3rd) Bridgestone Exedra Max 240/55R16 rear tire
4th) Michelin Road 5 150/70R17 rear tire mounter reverse on front

I replaced the Metzlers on my 05 to the Bridgestone Exedra but I sold it before I put more than a few hundred miles on it. I will probably go with it again. Thanks folks.

So I just checked my new chrome and yes it's in the recall.

Boy that gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling doesnt it?

You mean some of you folks are running non-standard sized tires on your Rockets? Egads!!! You know you'll go down in flames and lose handling, yada-yada, etc. when you don't mount exactly what the manufacturer specified.
