tire milage?

[Fla_rider]

Well Tire wear is the only negative I've found on the flat 6 bagger. Since changing from Harley dresser I've had no regrets and have big smiles . On the Harley I would go through 2 rear tires to one front.Usually 15000 to each rear The F6B wears about the same front and rear getting far less mileage than the Ultra Classic did. In defense of the F6B I have a tendency to ride it much more aggressively than I did the Harley due to the greater available power.(also because of my Harley riding buddies desire to stop eating Honda fumes)
Over all I love the bike but can't say I'm happy with tire wear.

After 11,200 miles on the original 'stones' my tires have half the tread of new ones! I covered the western 15 states and stayed off the interstate roads. Since I got the F6B for my
65th birthday I really enjoyed the many National Parks. They are free for us older riders! Badlands, Mt. Evans and Echo Lake, Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Monument Valley, Hoover Dam, Mohave Desert, Nixon and Reagan museums, Hiway one, Golden Gate bridge, Avenue of the Giants, Crater Lake, Columbia River Road, water falls, Yellowstone, Big Horns.
Never got rained on! Amazing. Friendly folks in all states! Col 3:17

How do you know when the tires are worn out?

Attachment 19911 This is my rear tire with 7274 miles on it which is just about to the wear bars on the tire. I think it really depends on how frisky your right wrist is as my rear tire probably would have made 7500 at best but I change it out cause it was flat in the center of the tread and I didn't like the look. Running 40 in the front and 41 in the rear.

7200 miles my rear OEM Bridgestone was finished right to the wear bars. So it really depends on how you ride your bike as to how long the rear tire lasts. Now the front one I did get 12700 miles out of so the rear one was somehow related to a right wrist problem I seem to have.

Now that's what I would call a ride about! Nice trip! How bout some pics of it though?
