Dark siding...
Good Afternoon everyone, This is my very first post and Im excited to be part of the Goldwing and other two wheel family....I have a 2019 Goldwing dct that I double darksided about a month ago (F: bridgeston battle ax 130/70 R: 195/55/16 purelli) my question is can I use a 195/60/16 bcs the 55 makes the bike sit an inch lower and I wanted to get that height back...or should I just leave it where it is because nothing is wrong with it...the bike actually rides better being double dark sided then it did before...

Re: Dark siding...
I ran a 195/60 on my 1500.
Maybe other tires are better but I had to go 50psi(6psi over sidewall stated max) to get a solid feel from the tire and still was iffy above about 80mph. Wore it out in about 9-10 thousand miles.
I now run a 195/55 run flat, way better feel.
