well, i did it!  wanted to say that i got my kenda rear tire on front and CT on back. what a ride. it really made the steering much more responsive. the grip is excellent. thanks to those that started that post. all i need now is about 20k more miles then i can be "flip side" . cant wait. owning a Valkyrie has been the best thing to happen to me next to my wide and son!!!!!!!!!  |

I've said the same about my lovely spouse, but never in a public place or where she could hear me!  |

i get it, he calls the love of his life "wide". i prefer to call my cycle Val. although, i would never ever call my wife wide, especially on a public forum like this!!!

Read this thread to my wife, her only question was why hasn't the original posting been edited. Everything else she said was not in the form of a question.  blackrams  |

What Kenda tire did you use? Size and model name?
I don't have a wife, just a fiance and if I call her wide I am sure I won't have a wife.

A rear tire on the front?
Any clearance/rubbing issues with a rear tire mounted up front?
