Has anyone changed the standard rear tire on a VN1600 Classic to a Metzler 180/60?
The standard choice for the bike is a 170/70 and that means the only thing available is a Dunlop K555.

If you have done this what was the outcome? How was the handling? Would you recommend this mod? I understand the speedo will vary by about -3% which apparently will correct an error and result in a more accurate speedo.

get over to your favourite Bike Shop and ask 'em to price up Bridgestones for your sled - 170/70's on the shelf, made for the bike
