I have a 2007 Kawasaki Nomad 1600. I am ready to come over to the Darkside. What is the best CT to put on my bike? I have a short window to get the tire and get it mounted before I leave for a road trip. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Gary

I like the way you are thinking. Need some more info please. What tire are you running now? and What type of rim is on your bike?
Im sure that someone will be along shortly to give you the best recomendation for tire and size shortly but this info is needed.
Welcome to the site.

I'm running a Continental Vanco 185/75/16. It will fit. The clearance issue here is not the width but the height.

The 185/75/16 will correct the speedo error and won't raise your rpm's.

Well I am half way there. I purchased a Good Year TT 205/60r16 today. I hope to have it mounted and installed on my bike sometime during the the week. Laughing
