Rode from Aurora, IL to Evansville, IN on Friday after completing this series of mods. Rain, lightening, traffic, and everything from Interstate (i-55 and -57) to wet, sloppy, rough gravel/dirt. These tires have transformed the bike, handles better on and off pavement. The change in tire sizes did NOT phase the DCT. I can no longer flat foot without stretching. She leans farther left on the side stand and much easier to get on the center stand.
------
Not quite an adventure bike
Just some practical mods for the long haul:
Electric grips from Warm And Safe,
Electric connector for my Gerbing vest,
2-prong SAE plug for charging tablet and phone,
MadStat windscreen,
Flat seat mod
Ron Majors rack off my old ST, plus a light bar,
Honda panniers and mounts,
Raised front fender,
Puig rear hugger,
Michelin Commander 120/90-17 and 160/70-17 tires,
New chain n sprockets and Scott Oiler.
Chain is 113 links instead of 112 because of fat tire and hugger.
Had to add a vacuum port for the oiler, real PITA!
No pics as its all pretty standard stuff
