INDIAN 741 Supercharged...See you in 2011

[octane]

Thanks for your kind words.

Tires:
The front tire is there by choice, so; yes. ( 3 x 21" AVON SPEEDMASTER Mark II)
The rear is just what happened to come with the wheel (off a Suzuki T500).

Haven't decided yet what to run there.
Suggestions are welcomed.

[Calkins]

What size is your current rear tire & wheel?

[octane]

The rear-tire is a 17". 120/90

Methink it's a sexy little beast:

I like Avon, tires that is.  It doesn't look like they make a 17" Speedmaster.

Avon Motorsport Motorcycle Tires:  (or is that tyres?)

I've been throwing around the idea of using Goodyear Top Fuel Dragster Front Runners:

They use 17" X 2.5" rims.

Nope. Thanks for the links Calkins !
I think I'll go for the Continental TKV 12, 130/90 V17

I agree    it's absolutely beautiful

Pretty sure this is what Willie is running.  Not sure what front wheel that is, but pics here.

I still can't get over how beautiful this Indian is.

John Buddenbaum says that he uses the Front Runners on his Buddfab streamliner.  He went 150mph with it.

[octane]

I'm sure they are fine tires ...for going reallyreallyreallyreally fast.

I only plan on going reallyfast..-like.

I could very well be wrong but,
I think I'll be better of with a tire with a tad more bite/traction,
at the expense of (in my case unnecessary) ultra high speed-rating
or....?
