Went to the local scooter store to see about some tires... Anyone know if I can put 100/90-19 on the front of my FXCWC? Long story short, better tires, better deal if I can go up just a little.... Would like to hear especially from any other Rocker owners that have changed their tire size...

 

I am running Metzelers me880 in that size. Great tire.

 

Dunlop 90/90-21 here.

 

I'm running that same size metz on my 08 rocker and it fits perfect. Fills out the fender nice also.

 

@Kowan... your scoot has a 21" wheel on it?

 

110 Metz on mine but I'm not running a fender

 

Yes. I ordered the Heartland Rocker Replica 21" through Drew,(DR V-TWIN).
By slotting the stock fender mounting holes, I'm able to run the stock fender over it.
My sig picture is old and still shows the stock 19".
A couple of guys have threatened to sneak in my garage and paint my bike red if I don't update my sig soon....

 

...hmmmm...wondering who you talkin' about LOL

 

C'mon kowan, I think Jo is just tryin to look after you, its common knowledge red rockers makes an extra 15 hp!!

 

Last November when my bike was up on a stand getting it's motor bigger and prettier I noticed that the front stock Dunlop tire was very badly cupped and the sidewalls were also very badly split after 3 years and 6K miles. The tire shop guy suggested an ME880 on the rear and to upgrade to a 3.25 x 19 ME Lasertec on the front. What an improvement!!!! The rear no longer rolls over (or slides off) the top of ridges and no longer slides into grooves and the front now feels like it swoops or glides or floats around curves. It feels like a lot of weight has been lifted from the front end. I now have to back off of turn pressure on the bars when I do turns so that I don't oversteer the curves I have always taken. I live in the hills of AZ and have to (how sad!) do many twisties when I leave town in either direction. Will never buy Dunlops again for the Rocker. Now I just have to see how long the ME's last. Hope it's longer than the Dunlops. Sure is more fun (and easier) to ride now.
