Time and Adjustments for CT Install.
First, let's see if any one can validate my choice, I'm 6-1 255 Lbs riding a 2007 Honda VTX-R 1300. I have chosen a Michelin HydroEdge 205/65/15 to replace the piece of crap Dunlop I''ve worn to the threads running 500+ miles a week for work recently. The guy I found to do the install says 2 to 3 hours, seems high to me...anybody care to give me their experience and what to say to this guy? Also, what if any adjustments will I need to make to my speedometer and what is the best tire pressure for this tire, that bike and my height and weight?
All reply's are greatly appreciated.

Re: Time and Adjustments for CT Install.
Good choice for a tire... A local tire and muffler place mounted mine with their rim grip changer. Took about 15 minutes and $8.
I ran 36psi in mine when I had my VTX.

Re: Time and Adjustments for CT Install.
If you are using stock exhaust you will need to turn the mounting bolts around to keep from rubbing the tire. The speedo will be off about the same as it was 10% +/-
Be sure to pull the wheel off and regrease the spline with moly paste every 15,000 miles.
Last but not least ride her hard but never put her away wet.
