Tire change question
I have a FXST with the original 200/55 17 Dunlop tire. Here in Brazil I only find this tire in the Harley store, and they costs more than U$500,00. My question is: is it possible to change for a Michelin Pilot Sport HPX 200/50 17? Any sugestions?
Thanks for any help.

Yea, go for it, you will find that the 200/50/17 is a bit shorter and changes the overall gearing just enough that 6th gear is much more useable, and the bike is much more ridable around town in 3rd and 4th too. I been running Shinko brand 200/50/17 on my 2008 Train ever since the stock Dunflop wore out. I got 43000 on my Train now and highly reccomend them.

Thank you, Decon Blue, I'll try it. The brazilian group who sales Harley has very high prices, and we buy everything we need in Ebay and others american stores. Paying shipping, customs and insurance is cheapper than buying from Harley here.
