What Happens if....

dougl, does Jefflee1 (see his recent post) have what it is you are looking for?
I have the seat with backrest. I checked as far away as Oz for the backrest. Found one on eBay and did a last second bid. Masterful. I paid $380 for the seat and backrest.
 
Oh, c'mon, Steve! You know exactly what the flock is up.;)
The 130 Ex Max up front provides unparalleled quickness and maximum responsiveness when it comes to optimum handling from off the shelf tires for our Rockets, especially when paired with the matching B'stone 240 on the rear.
NOTE: If you ride an ABS-equipped Roadster, the resulting geometry of the 130/240 combination is dangerous. Firstly, it will defeat the ABS sensors causing the ABS to fail (not work) and secondly the smaller tire in front will lower the bike sufficiently to cause certain bits (front pegs?) not only to drag, but potentially to hook onto ground or road irregularities when leaned, potentially leading to a catastrophic, unintentional dismount. DO NOT USE A 130 SERIES TIRE IF YOUR R3 IS EQUIPPED WITH ABS BRAKES!!!
To my knowledge, nobody has tried the Bridgestone Exedra Max 130/75 17 on an R3T, but I'd suspect that the compromised ABS condition would apply to it as well, hence the warning stated above should be heeded.


I don't think they have, Phil. The R3T has a 16" front wheel.
Besides, I am merely pointing out NOT to do this with the R3R, not the older classic and standards.
 
That's terra incognita for me, too, Steve. I think we'd both advise caution with smaller section width front tires tires on the R3T vis-a-vis their potentially deleterious effect(s) on the ABS system and geometry.
