I have been thinking about putting a motorcycle rear tire, reversed, on the front of a TG for years.
Finally did it about 4000 miles ago.
Time will tell how well it lasts, but so far it is looking like it is going to be many more miles than a front tire.
What I really like is how much more grip it has...both in the corners/curves, wet asphalt, and stopping power.
It is a significant improvement.
The only condition I am still waiting to see how it does...pouring rain. Have not hit any of that yet. When I do, that will be when I decide to go back to a front tire or keep using a rear in front.
On another note. I could not be more happy with how the TG is running. The other day we ran the Icefield Highway, with no small amount of hills, and still got just under 42 MPG.
