Default Tire Question

I have an 07 Road King Custom. I want to put a Avon 150/80/16 in the rear and the proper match in the front. Any body out there doing this and if so were there any mods that needed to be done, and alsodid your bikeseem any lower? Thanks

Just check the actual tyre size. Avon produce Venoms in two sizes under the 150 width. One is around 159mm and one is about 150mm from memory. Do a search on their tyre site for specs, and wath those load ratings, use the wrong rating and you can kiss goodby to your insurance.
