Could some check

[Micksan]

Could someone check the distance between their rear tire and the rear fender.
I am looking at the Bridgestone 240/55/16. It is 12mm or 1/2 in taller than the OEM size.
I just got this 06 R3 and it came with a car tire on it , so I can not check it my self.
Thanks in Advance

Russ you can install the Bridgestone on the Rocket. there are a few out there running them to see how much more mleage they get the the metz or the cobra. If you end up changing your mind then put the Avon Cobra on her front and back and make sure you buy the Vrated ones. If you want the bike to handle a little quicker in the curves put a 130 on the front instead of the 150.

Micksan,
Hello from SW Okla, Duncan.
You can run the Brig with no problem, I have one on one of my 06 R3s with no problems. I have stock length progressive shocks. Here are a couple of pics, the Brig is on the rocket with the backrest. The other R3 has a Cobra on it. Hope this helps, Lonnie

looks like an old 1985 H-D model adapted to the R3

I think there's another thread where he talks about it... if I remember it is HD, and the difficulty in adapting. The second went faster?
