GYTT on an N

I'm putting a GYTT 205/60-16 on an N Tues...from what I gather, no mods necessary to the fender or swing arm, but wanted to confirm while I have the rear wheel dropped.

Bull

Correct, from what I've seen posted, no mods required.

Bull, we just put that tire on an '05 N and it fit by a whisker. Had to deflate to install, but it fits and there's no rub.

you should be fine, unless you have 11" shocks...

Thanks all...

Well...got her mounted, uh, I mean the GYTT tire mounted tonight. Looks great...the big test ride tomorrow. I put 40 psi in for starters. Also changed the shock bushing while at it. I also ordered a patch,

Bull

Good to see you coming to the DarkSide of life...Ride safe and often...

Waiting to hear what you think Bull....be sure to give it about 300 miles to completely break in and you get used to it. Congrats.

Welcome to the Darkside ,
you don't need a patch , you can use a plug when you have a leek.

thanks again,

Welcome to the darkside. I'm betting you'll enjoy it.

Just got back for a quick 10 miler...been lots of rain here and work. No doubt different...but I'm a quick study and after a bit of feel...without a sense of overconfidence...have no doubt I will enjoy this new tire. I had it on a steep lateral slope which definitely gave a good tug. But as others mentioned...anticipation and practice. Running with 40 psi...about 2.5oz of dyno (I spilled the rest trying it get it in the itty bitty hole).

Thanks all for your advice and counsel...most appreciated to read and learn. And thanks Horse for the patch.

Welcome Aboard Give us an update when you get a few hundred miles on

so what size tire for an N with 11" progressive shocks on it?

same size recommended the 205/60 or 205/65 but it might behoove you to trim the inner fender brace "ears" and the lower lip that sticks in towards the tire. You can try it out first and see if it rubs, if only one side you might just need to center the fender over the tire. They are all usually off to one side or the other, there's a bit of play in the mounting...

Lower your air pressure some and you will like it even more! JMO

I just picked up a GYTT at the local Sears. My gosh the thing looks huge. If it weren't for threads like this I'd be sure I'd picked up the wrong size. I'm having it installed Saturday and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I don't know about your fit but GYTT stands for GOODYEAR TRIPPLE TREAD.

you'll be fine with a 205/60 or a 205/65
