Had a Dunlop SP 5000 put on this morning haven't got to ride it far but plan on riding to work and will do a lot of twistys on way to work. So far have noticed it is a much smoother ride

I made many measurements before I bought this beast, but I missed one. Once I mounted it and installed it I discovered that it was just rubbing on the angled brace in the front right side of the swingarm. I had to cut the brace to provide clearance. I don't recommend this size tire due to that fact. Heck, I don't think you can even find this size anymore anyway. And yes, when I saw that thing and put it next to the stock tire I had a pretty bad feeling in my gut that I had really wasted some money on a tire that no way in hades would ever fit. Besides all the other benefits, my speedometer is now dead on! This tire is almost exactly 10% larger in diameter than the stock tire.
