[UKKJ]

Tomorrow is the big day!!

Getting the above fitted to replace the pooryear AT

Will keep you posted, the main thing is... will the spare fit under my euro wheel cover.... mmmm

 

[fouros]

yes it will

it will be tight but if you dont use the soft cover it will fit , i have the same size under mine =D>

 

[dano104]

Sweet! I just had mine mounted Last week and I love them. You should have no problems rubbing with that size. Yours are load rated D right?

 

[UKKJ]

Well guys all fitted!

It did cost me an extra £100 as the spare did fit, nice and cosy Fouros as you said

First impressions:
Dry pavement grip is already up, without pushing it yet.. (scrub in time)
The white letters are a bit blingy...not sure about them yet
Road noise is up, not too worry, not very much.
On full lock the tyre catches very lightly on the arch liner below the fog lamp door, clevis lift would sort ...Am i bothered?...no!

Oh, and i have taken off my flaps as it looks a bit more ready for action!! flaps are for girls...so to speak!


Dano. Load Rating D...yup

Apologies for the pic...out of dining room window!!

yep...I myself have a mongoose....
um...oh..motobikes...

oops...LoL (whistle)

 

[UKKJ]

Back in the olden days I raced...

Mongoose (Supergoose!)
Kuwahara
Diamond Back
PK Ripper
GT

....They were too much like hard work..I find the 4 cylinder engine much easier to get places now.

First real day of commuting on the Fazer today, weather here is still dodgy...rain/snow... Have I risked it too much.??..the BT020 isn't really a Mud and Snow tyre is it.

 

[fouros]

what pressure you running your BFG's at


after mine were fitted yesterday i found the ride choppy and got a LOT of bump steer, But

i dropped the pressures from 40psi down to 36 and what a difference,
no real bump steer to speak of, no real noise from the tyres, heaps more grip so i am a verry happy chappy now \/

 

[UKKJ]

35 Mr Fouros..

May try the other way!!

Whay have you swapped to BFG's

 

[dano104]

I run mine at 35
too

 

[fouros]
