Yeah it will work.. I had one for a minute .. You basically sandwich the flap between your windshield and fairing...

I'm a ex trucker and didn't use the clutch for shifting but trucks have a non synchronizing tranny.. The bike has syncros and you risk damaging those.. So I've been told... but I'm not an engineer... Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

This is the one I got.. You can cut off the plug and connect some clamps on to hook it directly to the battery..

I always pack a little air compressor and a plug kit.. Extra fuses some wire and a toolkit.. I've had good luck with Slime compressors and they make a mini one that stores easily.. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Running a rear tire on the front is fine... running a D404 is fine... I have my 2nd rear D404 mounted on the front with no issues... It gives you 3/16" more rubber and a higher load rating than a front tire... Manufacturers do suggest mounting it opposite the arrow... I ran a Bridgestone radial rear once with the arrow and the tire cupped at about 3K miles... I'm running a Kumho car tire on back...

No offense Dach but most of your post sounds like Manufacturer's Psycho Babble that they print up in the event of a lawsuit and to sell more tires... Most of that stuff is pure crap.. You see in the REAL world Bikers try stuff and learn from others that have tried stuff... That's what we're doing here right here in this thread.. Most of us don't want quotes off some Manufacturers website... We want REAL experiences.. But since you seem to be enamored with the Tire Manufacturer's so called information (BS Disclaimer)... Look up on the Metzeller site where it says you CAN run a REAR tire on the FRONT (Contrary to your post) as long as you mount it with the direction arrow going backwards... I know I saw it there and I'm living proof that it can be done... I've done it a few times... I run a Dunlop 404 150/80-16 REAR fire on the front of my RSV with no ill effects... It gives me 3/16 more rubber than a front and increases my load range... Moral of the story... Let's pay a little more attention to Real World Experiences and a little less to the agenda driven manufacturer's disclaimers... THAT'S what this and other Forums are about... Rant over..

That was ME telling Dach about the Raider...

ACTUALLY......Manufacturers are putting out bikes with radials and bias tires from the factory... I believe the Star Raider has a radial on the back and a bias up front... I have 40,000 miles plus with a Car tire Radial on the rear of my RSV with NO issues... Your information is outdated... That USED to be the recommendation...

Barrycuda how were you involved if you don't mind me askin???

I changed the organic plates in mine as "might as well while I'm in there" thing... They were cheap enough and I got 80K on my Barnett Clutch setup and still works great...

Here's my 2 cents... 120K on a RSV with 3 different seats and a lot of long days in the saddle with a 34" inseam... Standard midnight, Pillowtop, and a Corbin... Corbin sits you further back but it also lowers you just as much as it is lower so the difference with legroom over the standard is negligible... Your pillowtop is probably your best bet as far as legroom... Tho the difference is probably only an inch... Your best bet is longer highway pegs like these.... http://images.leatherup.com/imagesproc/L2ltYWdlcy9wcm9kdWN0L2xhcmdlLzQ5LTQ0NjdMbmdob3JuT2Zmc2V0RHVhbGx5LmpwZw==_H_SW700.jpg

I would worry a little about Load Range... The Metzlers I looked at were a Load Range 63 and the Stock 16 is 71... I did see a 140/70-18 that said it was a Belted tire and was reinforced with a 73 Load Range... Might be a better option... All the other tires listed were Bias or Radial...

Well the Steelers have a cupcake schedule the rest of the way... 2 games against the Ravens are the only 2 games against teams with a winning record and the Ravens are very beatable... They SHOULD end up 12 - 4 IF they split with the Ravens and should make the playoffs...

I didn't see the game but.... A Beat down????? A 24 - 20 roller coaster win is NOT a Beat Down in my book.... Patriots 45 - 7 over the Rams WAS a beat down...

Or you can do what I did and buy a spacer that someone here makes and sells... Now I can split my fairing without messing with the light bar... Some ppl complained about them messing up those plastic deflectors but I took those off as one of mine was missing the rubber bumper and scratching my midnight fork covers... I think they just clutter up the front end and I've been taking unnecessary stuff off...
