New Tire Dimension2

The new tire dimension that I mentioned in a post before is working very well. In this perspective you can see the higher shoulder (160/70/17), which results in a higher rolling circumference (10cm) and gives a higher rake(+1,5cm). Besides from the look, that sets a better proportion in terms of dynamics, you have a comfortable and agile ride! Very recommendable conversion!      ,

New Front Tire

Pics from the workshop: Zephyr is getting a new front tire today! In the back you can see the next project. It also has a green based livery as the one that was for sale before. We need a new stator for it and a new wishbone, so it still takes some time until we have it ready for sale.

New Tire Dimension #bridgestone

Right now I'm testing a new tire dimension for the #zephyr750 and I'm using a 160/70/17 instead of a 160/60/17. Of course this is not the original #zephyr rim but one from the #ZX6R. You can see the conversion in my former posts. 

The new tire has a diameter that is 3cm wider than the one before, so that my rolling circumference is also 10cm longer. But not only the gear-ratio changed by this, but also the character of driving the bike , because it has a rake of 1,5cm in the back now, which gives it a more direct steering!

Testing in the #eifel around #nürburgring follows!

Start the season in style....

...with the right shirt!

After more than a half year of break I'm back on the bike again! In the meantime I struggled with my shoulder-injurie and to be honest I'm not completely recovererd again, but for the next season it'll work out! Skiing was allright and I bought a shoulder protector from #Dainese that is made for downhill biking - that will do on the Zephyr as well!

 On the photo you see last years project bike that I completed with a new set of bodywork. Still have to paint the rims and then it's ready for selling - any offers?? :-)
