Default Michelin Commander II Motorcycle Tire fit front skinny?
Do Michelin commanders fit the front skinny on a wide glide without adjusting the fender?

At about 6k, that front tire makes me nervous.

Keep thinking about this:

Fits mine. What width is your fender braces and size of your tire?

If you're talking about fitting a 80/90-21 or 90/90-21 to a WG, yes they'll fit.

They fit mine. I have 90/90s and they look a lot better too IMO.

They don't have that size listed though. You could go with a 160 from what I can see listed, unless I'm missing something.
WG's are very limited in rear tire options. Scorcher, Dunlop, and night dragons are about the only ones.
