    my bike runs a seemingly odd tire size. 140-70-18 rear and a 90h-21 front. i've found my size but they are costly. kenda offers them at a really low price. my worry is, will they ride and handle well. at least ok. i fiqure they won't last as well, but money being what it is, ya know? looking for opinions and maybe some experience. thanks almost broke gabby

    the kendas i have used, grip very well. wet ,dry, rain grooves, tar snakes, no problem. they don't wear well, maybe 5-6000 miles.

    my last one got a slice on the sidewall after about 500miles, but I'm interested in that 18" for a swap on a 16, I need some more inches off the ground:roflmao:

    flhtbiker, it probably was. the original owner lowered it and changed the wheel. on it is a avon venom tire. but i can't find my size with them now. a little wider (150), but not a 140. the clearance to fender is close, plus i like the attitude of the bike. the wheel is solid, but i think that's stock for a nighttrain. is the 21 front stock?:confused:
