That rim will fit your 6! Any GL 1800 front or rear wheels from 2001 to present will fit!Quote:

Thanks for the quick response guys. I actually found an even better deal. $50 for rim and tire with a plug in it, but I don't need the tire anyway. I am on my way to the dark side....
NICE !!!!!!! I'm still a newbie darksider with just over 1K on my rear CT. But to tell the truth I wish I'd did it as soon as I got the B. With only a few miles left on the front stone I will be going double DS very soon. Happy trails.Quote:

My biggest issue was when at low speeds on uneven terrain it pushed the bike all over. Being 5'7" with a short inseam it was unnerving especially with a passenger. It is even harder for me to touch on the F6. I guess what I am asking is does anyone have a suggestion on a tire that would minimize this issue? I am thinking the narrower the tire the better? My intentions are to have this rim/tire for longer highway trips to help my elite4's last longer. My hopes are I will like the CT and not have to worry about spending $200+ on rear tires anymore!
I have the Dunlop Snow tire...very happy...look on the Dark Side section for more information.
Sounds like you were not running enough air? I run 32# in this one. Good Luck !!!!
