Hi,

just had a 120 /60 /17 front tyre fitted to my baghira, its the first time i have tried one, anyone else had one fitted, and care to comment positive or neg comments please...

was a part worn avon vipe storm off my sports bike..


Al..

I've thought of doing that also and would like to know what your opinion is so far. I switched to a 150/60/17 rear Shinko Podium and love it.
Good Luck, Ed

This is the tire size on the front of my '01 Skorpion. Too wide for that 3.5" rim, in my opinion. Michelin Road2, tread surface rolls perpindicular to the axle. It still looks new, I'm temped to change it for a 110/70.

I just got Baghira, less wheels, so I don't know the stock rim specs.

been out on said bike today, and feels ok, i have never really had very good tyres on it anyway, i just put on what i can afford. the front was off my ports bike. and the rear i got part worn fitted for £30 michelin r3ear, avon viper storm front....


didnt really give it a good blast, as was with my mte who was running in his scooter.

Al,

Going down from the 160 to a 150 rear makes the bike more flickable and nimble. That's why going down to a 60 series front might be fun.
Keep us posted, Ed : )

i am on my 3rd set of metzler m3's 120/60/17 front 160/60/17 rear as stock recomendations, ive owned a few sport bikes with different set ups but i believe this has been a most favorable combo...currently on 05 baggy

cracking on mine, really like the 120 60 17 front seems to turn so much quicker...

especially low speed stuff, will turn on a sixpence...
