Need C/T Advice for Friend

[Aussie Annie]

Hello everyone,

A friend here in Oz runs a 1500 Goldwing with double sidecar, and is looking for the correct C/T to run on the back of the bike. Would it be the same (Kumho) as the ones' you all run on the RSV ??

Any advice you can give would be appreciated

I gotta ask....What is a double sidecar???? Does he have a sidecar on both sides of his bike????? If he does, I would love to see a picture of it...

i belive it's a big sidecar ( two people can set side by side ).

Hi Annie

I have the car tire on the back of my Venture but the hack has a 13-90-16 MC tire on it.

Very little wear showing on the hack tire.

I just put an Avon Venom rear tire on the front today and it handles great.

If he can find a Car tire for the hack I'm sure it will work just need to find one with the right rim size. If he has a 15 inch rim then a 155 or 165 - 15 should work fine.

The 1500 GW has a 180/70/16 rear tire, not sure there is a good choice for a C/T. The 1800 GW has a 15" rear and there a lot to choose from.

I think the 1500 wing will handle the same tire as the valkyrie will a 205/55/16 with no mods to the bike, or a 205/60/16 but the clearance of the fender mounting bolts has to be checked for this size.
