Im not sure where it is but I do know that it is off about 4 to 5 mph. I hate having my speedometer say 65 and i am only running 60.

Thanks for the floorboard info. I don't drag pegs very much, not that good yet. I do however drag the heel of my foot on occasion because my heel is lower than the peg is when I ride. Scared the crap out of me the first few times. I was wearing my work boots at first and have went to tennis shoes because of this and the lower heel.

I purchased the Kenda K671 rear tire just recently. I liked the tread pattern much more than the Kruz which is a typical "cruiser" pattern. The K671 looks like it would work very well in the rain or even off road. It's been through the dragon and handled perfectly.

I like the look of that alot - where did you get it and for what price?

From the dealer for around $86 plus installation.

That is a good looking tire. Good price too.

It wouldn't matter where the speed sensor is, a little taller tire in the rear should help bring that speedometer a little more close to being accurate

The difference will be less than 1 mph. You don't really get any benefit from the 200 series tire on the M50.

heh.. personally, i don't really see the difference between a 170 rear and a 130 rear.
i'm on the bike. i'm riding. i don't see it.
