Anyone have info on what needs to be done to make a 130/90-18 fit a 1500?


I just mounted a 130/90-18 to my 1999 front and it defiantly rubs'/locks up at full psi. I am going to have to get it back off the bike and see what where its rubbing and if anything can be done. I don't want to buy another tire!

Double darkside. Its the closest rear tire that fits the front i could find. I hope to get time this weekend to see about making it clear
