Tire size, 3.5 vs. 4.5???
Need some info on running a 3.5 vs. 4.5. Will there be a huge difference in handling??? Found a good price on some 3.5 rims but have been told that the ride will be not be as good as running a 4.5 . Thoughts on this subject?? Any comments would be helpful, I have always run stock wheels, but looking to spruce up the SG with some black powder coated blades

I'm running 18 x 4.25 rear with a 150/70/18 Avon and 18 x 3.5 front with 130/70/18 Avon on a SG and it handles well.
On my Fatboy I am running 3.5s front and rear and it also handles well.
The 3.5s front and rear should be fine on your bike.
I think the difference in handling is going to come from changing the Dunlop tires to Metzeler or Avon.

Thanks for the replys fellas, I bit on the wheels, should be here sometime next week, then off to be powder coated. Hopefully will have the black forks on by the time they get back. Hope to have it all together in time for Myrtle[sm=icon_cheers.gif]
