Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Changing out my rear tire...don't even have to remove the muflers...you remove a suspension pin held in place with a snap ring and the whole swing arm drops below the muflers giving you access to the axle nut...now why didn't harley think of that...lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I have only ever seen excessive cupping on a front tyre and I am certain it was caused by running for about 100 miles on a scraped road in Texas. Other than that I only ever see moderate cupping on tyres that are close to the end of life but again more front than rear. It will be interesting to see how the Cobra Chromes end up especially with the new shocks which have resulted in the last of the chicken strips disappearing.
