I have a Update... I finished my tires and checked everything mentioned, Ok... I took her out for a ride and at 85 mph she kept straight as an arrow, motorcycle felt like a brand new motorbike right out of the shop,, of course the stock tires back then are the 404's which is kinda sad because these E3's are everything these folks say they are,, OH goodness :woohoo: If the PO had these tires mounted, I'm sure he wouldn't have sold it,, Really a nice ride, I am going to have a blast on it,, I might still mount the weight but that's just me,, I'm different that way...I still feel the front end is light at 70+ and the weight should stabilize it from there to 100 mph... :oh: You guys have steered me in the right direction and I appreciate it....Awesome bike man... Now I have the trunk extentions to mount and a new Cee Bailey shield with the vent coming :woohoo: then speaker upgrade and Bam, done... Told ya I listen to advice.... :clap: Lovin this bike and site man... :hpdc: I am pleased... I was a bit discouraged with how it handled before... :bowdn: I set the steering stem nut, checked bearings, checked swingarm torque and bearings, frame bolts, tire pressure, axle torque, put it this way, I use a torque wrench on most everything.. :thmup: And I greased the spines...It feels so different now,, remarkable..

Pretty bike Little beaver! that ride is in great shape.Here is my story, when I bought mine a year ago,both tires were BAD.I had a slipped belt in front,and something similar going on in the back.I bought,the number escapes me I will have to look up,Dunlops that are white walls,and say HARLEY DAVIDSON on them :gig: Anyway,since i have installed dirt bike tires before I did install these myself on my voyager.I followed the mounting instructions in the service manual,made my own balancer,and the difference WAS INCREDIBLE.So far ,I have had no issues with wandering etc. even at 70,75 MPH.So these seem to have worked pretty good so far.I can look up the part number soon.That is my 2 cents.


Thanks :-D
