Colorado tire mounting
Howdy... new to site, referred from the VTX Cafe. I have an '08 1800T. Would like to know if anyone knows of someone in the Denver area who will mount a Car Tire on my bike. Would also like input about best Brand, Model, and Size tire I should use.
Thanks,
Hellbilly

Re: Colorado tire mounting
If I recall correctly, the T has the spoked 15" rims and tubes? If so it's a slightly different critter than most with the solid rims. You need to find a tire that is close to stock with a tire calculator (search for tire calc on google and you can find plenty) then decide if you wanna run a tube in the tire or seal the spokes. Both methods are being used successfully.... I'm not as familiar with the sizes and brands run on the 15" rim...

T model is simply an R w/bags and a windshield, same cast wheels, 16" tubeless rear, only S models have 15" spokes.
I'd go with a 205/65-16, if you don't want to do any clearance mods, other than centering inner fender brace on tire.

Re: Colorado tire mounting
Did you ever get an answer on who would mount your tire? I'm in Longmont and will be looking this winter for a shop to mount mine.
