I love my 2003 goldwing trike but being a solid axle, it is kinda hard on my neck and spine. The thing is, is that the rear tires are huge.. they completely fill up the wheel well and, although I havent measured it, just by eyeballing it, it only looks like I've got about an inch or two of clearance between the tire and the inside of the wheel well. If I dont keep the airbags pumped to 22psi+ or so, they rub in the corners.
The tires are the ones that came with the bike. I bought it about 7-8 months ago. The tires are in good condition, but I was wondering that if I go with a lower profile tire I would get more suspension travel and maybe a better ride. I do keep the tire pressure way low for a smoother ride. I should probably mention that I've changed out the airbags to ones i bought from airbagit.com.. BAGA-800-LONG 800# Long Airspring Bag 1/8"NPT port Dia 3.50" B1868
whatta ya think ? this is the only pic I've got right now, hopefully you can see how the tires fill up the wheel well.
Oh also, would going to an Aluminum wheel make any difference ??? and if so, what size / offset should I look for ?
Cheers
