[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 55229, member: 2708"] Tim, sounds like you are in favour of the skinny original sized tires? Problem is they aren't rated to carry the weight of a Vincent two up with luggage, nor do the rears last when loaded this way. For solo riding they are OK, though I prefer the modern profile of the Roadrider to the older type tires . Do you run narrow tires like 90s or 3.50 on your 1272? I find that the back end will slip sideways a little on hard acceleration out of a corner with this 1360motor, and that is with a 180 rear. Derek, I missed that recommendation for MT type, but I think it makes good sense to go with the manufacturers suggestion. So I suppose the procedure is to figure out what your loading will be, choose tire sizes thst will handle that, then go with the suggested rims. Glen [/QUOTE]
