    when my bike takes a 160/70-17 tire, would a 160/60-17 tire fit without any problems? I read in hear that you can put a 180/55-17 tire with no problem. Is there any one on here that can tell me otherwise. What brand tires should I look at. That tire would be sweet on my Deuce!

    i say yes.....but check the load rating of the new tire, as it is smaller and may not take the weight/speed of the replaced tire....
