After feeling how nice raidals were when I tried the Avons (before the front had quality issues,) I'm very excited to get these on the LT and go for a nice long ride. Beemered

The front's on an 8k wheel and rotors I picked up on FleaBay and the rear is on an RS rear.

Also notice the nice new stainless hardware for the rotor carriers and ABS ring. Very Happy

Can you mount those on stock LT rims?

What's the mileage like?

nope - wrong size. There are radials made that will fit the K. The bike rental guy says he has some kind of radials on regular K rims - somewhere in another thread.

Drake put an RS rear wheel on the bike: "and the rear is on an RS rear."

Get an RS rear, dude. Then you can ask your wife, "Does my rear end look wide?" In this case "Yes" is the right answer. Laughing

Avon makes radils for the LT. Worked greaat on mine - until the tread f'd up and I dumped them at 1500 miles. Sad

OR just call Blaine at SW Moto to see if he's got some good radials in stock LT sizes.

I have 6K on my PR2s and they are great. Give you great confidence in the turns when you have her heeled over.

Have them on both bikes and love the hell out of them. I'm not that far advanced in my riding technique but I feel very confident on these in the corners. Two thumbs up!!!!! Wink
