[QUOTE="evcomet, post: 96327, member: 3681"] I have been riding the new Comet quite a bit. Each time out makes me just a bit happier. Just a little adjusting has made the Amal Concentric very acceptable. After discovering that the tires were a good bit older( 12yrs) than I would prefer, I studied my choices and decided to order Avon tires. Speedmaster MKII 3.50-19 up front and SM A76 4.00 18 (26.7 tall) in the rear. So I knew that the new rear was just a bit taller, a bit more than an inch, but I was sure that half of that would be no problem. This morning I realized that the tire drags a bit when the Comet is on the center stand. I believe I can live with this, but what tires would have been a better selection? The rear tire I removed was a Dunlop TT100 4.10-18 (25.5 tall). Jerry [/QUOTE]
