dan,
welcome to the forum. can't tell you a lot about the tire size, as i ride an aero and not sure the tire sizes are the same. i can tell you though you might want to re-think the longevity of a tire being your main priority. the longevity of a tire usually means it's a harder rubber and therefore will not handle as well. if you're not that much an aggressive rider or rarely ride in the rain, you might be o.k. with the harder rubber tire. my riding partner rides a ducati...

Hi all; I'm mainly after the luggage rack, so that I can mount my tail bag. I still haven't yet picked up my "T", but the pictures show that it has the driver and passenger backrests. I can mount the bag backwards- (between the backrests) on those occasions when I'm riding solo, but not when with a passenger; and there will be times when that's when I'll need it most. New topic / question; ... I'm not certain that I like the tread design of the Dunlop 206...

Thank you Stan.....your endorsement is good enough for me. I don't care about the rack so I was glad to hear you say it was an option.

Alain, I have bought 2 backrest sets from this company and my friend has bought one from them, too. A put a co-worker onto them and he bought one from them, also. Never a complaint so far. The pictures show a luggage rack attached to the backrest, but it is an option and must be purchased separately. I was told that this company is who makes Honda's backrests for them, but it's a rumor that I picked up on when looking for backrests a few years ago. These are very similar to the Honda...

alain,
this is what i did on the aero to make it a little quicker and easier to change back and forth. took a piece of 1" x 1/8" flat steel and shaped it a little and then covered it with leather and studs. they say you should have some support between the fender braces when you remove the backrest. i think one guy on another forum took the metal piece and had it chromed, but i just didn't want that expense and didn't want to wait a week or two. this way, all you have...

You may want to check with Stan (BamaTrider) - I believe he had one available but may have already found a new home for it.
