I rode 1200 miles in one day recently between Malaga in Spain and St. Malo in France in an around Europe and Africa trip that took me over 5000 miles in just over a month. Now, the trick is to ride so far, you begin to stop ctying. Your **** can no longer feel anything. It's all in the mind!

I rest my ****!

Hello Mbox... You mention 'Wider Dunlops' in your list of upgrades... You wouldn't happen to remember the exact sizes of the new tires would you? Did you have any trouble with them since you mounted them... etc.? I would really appreciate the info... Thanks!

Just saw your post ....the Dunlop Arrowmax rear tire was 120/80 and the front tire was a 100/80 . Tiger had to make an adjustment prior to fitting the 120/80 rear ...but i didn't have any problems at alll with the tires.

I can't thank you enough Mbox. You saved me much time and trouble. I stowed the tire info and will mount them as soon as the current skins begin to show some wear. I think I may opt for Dunlop Elites if I can get them because they are phenomenal rain tires and that is a huge consideration in Thailand. But the size info was invaluable. What are your thoughts on the Dunlop Arrowmax for rain use? I owe you...

The Arrowmax were doing pretty fine in rain.... although my Boxer had 120/80 at rear, the usual "bigger"tire was the 110/80 which i believe was possible to be mount without modifications.

Hello again Mbox... Do you happen to know what the 'adjustment' to the rear was? Something must have been adjusted for clearance but for the life of me I can't think of what it might have been... By the way I decided to redo my seat. I want less and firmer padding and as close to a flat surface as possible. The current seat has my weight transferring towards the tank. Think I might go for genuine leather too. Will find out tomorrow...
