Hello all,:smile5:
I did it
I did it
I just went to the darkside today. The tire I have on the back of my RSV is a federal tire. It took 75psi to set one bead and 80 psi to set the other bead. I have set the initial tire pressure at 44psi and will drop down to 40 psi at 400 miles on the tire. I plan on having 600 to 800 miles before i go to Rolling Thunder in MAY.
I have read and did a lot of research in this matter and I think I am going the right direction for me and my ride. I did add a picture of the lip that the tire has to go over
pictures are included.
Have a great day of riding
Bryan Lay

Looking good. Enjoy the ride and watch the rear brake now. It'll actually stop the bike now instead of sliding.

So that's what a Federal looks like without white walls. Let us know how you like it.
