    Mounting From the Rear

    Hi,

    Strongly considering going dark with the G-Max AS-03 195/55R16 mounted to my spare rear wheel. I've read most of the dark side threads but haven't got a clear answer on the ease of mounting from the rear. Due to age and physical limitations (degenerative spinal disease) I can't chance laying the bike down on the crash bars to remove/install the wheel and much prefer to go in from the rear, which is not a problem with the OEM MT tire and no lifting required.

    So the question is . . will the G-Max go in from the rear with sufficient clearance without removing anything other than the fenders, etc., same as the OEM MT tire remove/install procedure or is it simply to wide?

    Deflate the Max before trying to slip it into place. Use a pie tin to cover the wheel studs which will relieve any friction from sidewall/stud contact

    Chop that's just too funny. I sometimes wake up dazed and confused so I know what you're talking about. Found a good way to wake up.quickly. Granddaughter and me took a nap in the recliner the other day. She's 15 months and likes to sleep on Poppa's chest. I came alive quickly after about an hour. She had a handful of my beard and was doing her best to rip it out. Blinding pain will wake you.quickly.

    That's exactly what Chop was dreaming about when he woke up from that nap.
