Thanks for the warning. I partially agree with you on this one and I actually was worried about this ahead of time. The PR4 drops quicker than the PR3s did, the PR4 has a much more rounded profile both front and rear. I did not notice as much difference with the 190/55 as I thought I would although it did stand it up on its nose a little bit.raYzerman wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2017 8:16 amFirst time out, Pop will likely find the bike drops into turns much easier than with the 180 tire, so a little caution if he hasn't had a 1990 before. No problem once you get used to it, it's actually my preference of tire size now.
Yesterday, I swapped out the Helibar brake line extension/OEM hose for the longer HEL line, bled the system, all good.
First, I took Pop's bike to my house to do the work and left him with my '15. I was going to deliver the bike to him late last night but Pop asked me to keep it and evaluate it for a couple days and a few miles. Then I could give him any impressions or warnings about differences in handling.
At first I thought that Pop might be a little bit over cautious since his crash. But Then...
Is Pop worried that with my questionable mechanical skills I might not put the bike back together properly and it would be better if a wheel fell off with ME riding it?
Is Pop enjoying doing mischief and meanness with MY FJR?
Or is he just concerned about the differences in tire profile?
Any one I choose still means Pop outsmarted me. Again.
