chicken strips  Img_7911after the trip to the Island,this is the first time i`ve almost used full front tyre,3mm short

I can use full rear,but using full front is a different story,and his is the closest i`ve come.

this was with the PR3`s,fully laiden bike,15mm lift kit on the back with wilbers shock set to hard for all the weight on board

Think mine are about 4mm left and 6mm right. Both rear, dont worry about the front. Would go measure but its cold and dark outside.

I think one goes with the other.
You will peg before you use full tyre on a bandit. Unless you do mods to prevent peg out

Mine are definitely bigger strips, I mainly commute, and there are no twisties, the tire will likely get a flat spot in the centre, don't really care though. I ain't no hero, I just putt along.

I'm working on it...pirat

Rear 10mm right & left.

Front 15mm right & left.

I reckoned the round about factor would cause 'closer to the edge' wear on the right side - not yet.
