I got my new tire mounted on Saturday. I'll spare you the long story, but it was a huge pain in the ass. Luckily, the guys at Twin Cities HD in Blaine came through and saved the day. I made the mistake of trying to save a few bucks elsewhere and it wasted a good chunk of my day.
Here it is mounted on the bike:
The wheel seems to be just a little wider than the stock wheel as the stock axle spacers don't quite fit. I've measured a few times and found the wheel is indeed wider by about 1/8". I'll be ordering a different axle spacer. The tire is narrower and taller than stock and I love the way it looks. I think it'll handle well too, especially through the corners. I can't wait to try it out in a few weeks.
