Thanks Mate but i have a complete bike for spares. Less some engine components. Thought i might buy a touring cheapish n fit the rear of the standard to it...including chopped guard n other not so expensive stuff..From the tank forward on the touring or classic,i like. Not so happy with the skinny tire look tho. Fat, low n chunky is the look im after, hence the flat bars. This is close to wot im trying for but with lots of chrome..gauges/rims/left n right up swept exhaust..fattest possible front tire...dreamin now hahaha....Must be different...with the short guard the tank looks huge. No, the missus does'nt know..yet
Yeah, love the look but cannot see to many keen pillions on that tiny pad, but they kept the rear foot boards so must intend someone to suffer.

Hi Rick Im not sure I would try and convert it. The R3T tires have more options available and are a sh*t-load cheaper. The R3T's also handle better with the skinnier rear tire.
Sure someone will correct or confirm this but I think the diff's different too, they have different offsets/angles?
Funny I always thought it would be good to go the other way for my stdthe wide tire looks good though.
The "small" rear tyre on the Touring makes for quicker handling and you get a great choice of reasonably priced tyre ,anyhow I don't like my women or bikes with Fat arses
I can recall not so long ago the 180 tyres were questioned as being "too big"
