hi all,
A quick tyre question, i need a new front rather urgently and can get a Pirelli Super Corsa SC2 rather cheaply
only problem is the tyre is a 120/70 rather than the standard 120/60.
Am i going to run into any problems with this tyre, is it going to rub on my front guards or anything like that?
Many thanks
Sam

Re: another tyre question
yes if your forks are standard and in need of a rebuild and you very fond of 90mph-0mph spotties , you'll put the tyre into the lower rad ....but it'll clear the mud guard ok.
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

Re: another tyre question
or ditch the lower rad and get a bigger top rad? Although i dont think thats as good as better forks :)

Re: another tyre question
I run a 120/70 on mine (just because thats what was on there previously) and have no issues at all
