Wow Like a New Bike

Radialed UP today👍👍👍😁😁 she rides like a new bike. Bridgestone T30's front and rear, three shims, rides so much better, no more tracking in every little bump and groove on the road. This weekend i will test on twisty road. Thanks to all who posted info on radials.

Just putting new tires [Shinko tourmasters] made a big difference in my ride. I didn't think you could fit radials to the K75 3 spoke. What sizes did you use and what and where are these shims you speak of.

heck, any new tires feel great after ditching worn out ones.

shims are probably the stock ones that are found between the rear wheel and the hub.  stock is one shim.  sounds like he added two more to offset the wheel to one side to clear the swing arm with a bigger than stock tire.

Yes added 2 shims to rear wheel, then tested today. 100 miles, miles 40 straight, 60 twisty. OK, better over bumps, much better off throttle in corners, use to stand up, now nice and smooth, and great turning on throttle. All in all, well worth the time and money. I may raise the forks up 5 mm to load the front end more.
