My buddy has a Triumph Rocket III that he mounted a tire on. He loves it so I decided to the same on my bike. I read a lot of forum posts here
and decided on the GYTT 205/60/16. I'm currently running 40 PSI in the tire.
I had the tire rubbing on good bumps yesterday so I adjusted the suspension to the "5" setting. Now it's very rarely doing it but still rubs every once
in awhile on a good bump. My girlfriend rides a good bit with me during the summer so I can forsee this being an issue then. She weights about 120 while
I weigh in at 250.

Would anyone have any suggestions?

Incase it matters, 1800 VTX T. Somewhere in the fender well. I really think it's the fender support rails which dont look like a good idea to trim.
