VROD tires

by Editor on 10/28/24

Got tired of running miss matched tires that the previous owner had on this 2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD. There was a Metzler on the rear & a Bridgestone on the front. Not sure why they did that but probably an availability thing. 
They were in decent condition so that's why I didn't change them when I first got the bike, however in hindsight I probably should have. I have been riding exclusively on Avon Cobra tyres for the last 13 years and love the traction, longevity and the look of them.

Not sure if anyone else has thought of this, if so I haven't seen it.

Installing 7/16 Colony chrome plated allen screw hole plugs (part number 2189-100) into the front and rear brake caliper bridge bolt holes finishes them of very nicely.
