Battleaxe on your Valkyrie?

[BIG--T]

Is anyone running a Battleaxe 200/60/16 on their Valkyrie and how do you like it?

I used a battlax that size once, it rode well, handled well, wore out pretty fast, but most rear tires do.  More rpm per mph also. Looked very fat, do the nut cage removal.   It's very close to the swing arm, but did not rub.  Hoser

Whew 

  For a minute there, I thought you were talking about the gentler gender

The cage nut removal? I'm lost. I got it and it looks so big like it won't fit but DLP reviews and others say it will.    I sure hope so cause I don't wanna send it back. I have one on my VTX and was no problem. I have 9k on it now and still looks new.  Anyway I sure hope it fits!!
Thanks

It looks rather violent but it's simple and gets that "little box" out of the way so it won't rub on your tire.

Thanks a bunch, now I know what they're talking about! I was thinking maybe the center top of the fender that could gouge the tire.
