The stock G704 I got 15,000 miles hmmm curious what the new Toyo will do. Nice meeting a lot of you F6B riders at the rally in Russelville this year. Ride safe.
That Toyo tire is the absolute closest to the original size back tire you can find. After my bad experience getting rope untangled from the rear wheel and not being able to get the 195/55 tire out the back I'm sticking with the narrower tire. No way I'm going to lay my bike over on the side of the road to get the tire and wheel out. The rope was a fluke and I couldn't do it again on a bet but it was a learning experience for sure. BTW make sure a razor knife is part of your tool kit!!
