205/65/16 issue

Ok gents..been a bit to say the least.

I've been happily running a ME HydraEgde 205/65/16 on an 1800 C rear wheel on my 1300c..now 1300N for 47k+- a few. When we were reinstalling everything from paint we noticed that the lettering has been rubbed off from the outter most part where the writing is.

Seems the tire has started to rub the swing arm some. So what's everyone's take on grinding the swing arm down up front near the braces where the tire would be rubbing.

Now, the tire is always at 40psi, no passenger in ages and I can still slip a credit card between the tire and the swing arm when it's in the air..dunno about on the ground since I want to fix this now before I finally get to ride again.

Or should I not worry at all?

Most likely all the rubbing is done and cleared itself! I would only worry if it keeps on progressing! JMO

Miss ya' dude! How's Ian?

Joe, the only thing that could affect a change in directional rotation is the wheel bearings. Pull the wheel and check em.

See you out there

First thing I checked when I dropped the tire to mount the fender. They were fine. Hmm wonder if I just didn't notice the outter most writing being gone since I can't see the sides of the tire with the bags on.
