gl 1200 darkside 15" tire

i installed a 145/ 80 15 bf goodrich then went to a 155/80 15 bf goodyear the tire mounted with lots of lube and a little axle grease in the last 4" to seat the bead the grease seemed to work i am now looking to mount a 165/80/15 soonno need to machine the rim just clean it good and use lots of lube

With the 165...you should run a little higher pressure on it because of the weigh of you bike. JMO
