Want to order a RSD brace for a NT frontfork , I'm not sure if that brace will fit when a 140-70-21 tire is installed

In the catalogue it says the brace is good for 21-3.5 rims , but nothing about tire-sizes

Anyone who has a clue !!!

 

I can call and ask,but it won't be until tomorrow. My guess is the answer is going to be I dunno. Let me know if you want a discounted price on one. I'll hook you up. Drew

 

Ok, let's see if I can confuse both of us. I've got the stock tire size (MH90/21) on a HD Thunder Star rim. From the rim lip to the center of the tread the tire height is 2 1/4". From the center of the tread to the underneath of the brace is 5/8". The tire is 3 1/4" wide. From the sidewall to the brace is 1" on each side. Tire is a new Avon Cobra.

 

It sounds like the only spot where there might be an issue is in the height of the brace/tire.

 

Thnx for the help and replies Dr V-twin and Smug .... that's exactly what the issue is DrVtwin , width wouldn't be a problem, it's the height what does it !!!

Guess there aint that much on the market for 140-70 tires .... gonna try and make a home-made one out of stainless .....

 

It's pointless to shell out all that cash for an RSD if it won't fit. Their stuff is pricey.

 

Except for makin a home-made one, what would be another option ?

 

That is a good question. I'll have to start digging through the fatbook.
