Holy smokes! Those are some chunky skins.

How do they fit? Are they the same size as the stock tires?

They are a 120/80-17 so they should fit right on.I'm not mounting them till around June 1st or so.

I presume you are going to carry rear TKC's with you, and have them mounted in Whitehorse or somewhere, to save highway wear and tear?

Not sure,we will probably run 705's up and back or maybe mount up some big blocks in Fairbanks or run TKC's up and back.The X and my wifes GS500 should be pretty easy on tires so I think rear TKC's would make the round trip.

I was just curious, as there was mention of getting and future mounting of front TKC's but no word of rear tires.

My front and rear TKC's are gathering dust in my living room, waiting for my wallet to recuperate from all my Trax luggage and other assorted outta control spending earlier, lol!

These are my REAR ideas.
I was going to run K60's in the rear BUT they don't do to well on wet pavement,but do last a long time.
You already have the TKC's,why aren't you running them ??.

Maybe I can afford to have them mounted next payday. I'm in no especially spectacular rush, and all my bills have ganged up on me at the same time...

I mount all my own tires,4-7 a year.I bought a HH tire changing stand about 3 years ago,the BEST $50 I have ever spent !!!.

Not sure if my landlord would take kindly to me bolting a tire stand down in my living room, lol.


Oh well. Maybe one day I'll find a place with somewhere to work on a bike.
