After two years and almost 10000 miles it is time once again to re-shoe the FJR. So yesterday I went down to Performance Cycle here in Centennial, Colorado and bought some Road Smart 3"s for her. I had been running RS 4s but I seem to get the same mileage out of both the 4s and the 3s so I went with the 3's this time (less money) and the handling feels the same to me. I am too old to really push the limits of the tires. Today I remove both rear and the front and will wait until I get a cool morning before I mount them. May be Monday. Here are a few pics.
New Tires awaiting
Rear removed with axle and parts in place so as not to forget how they go.
Another shot of her rear.
Now to the front. Wheel Removed
Another shot of the front with axle in place with spacers so as not to lose them or forget which side they go on.
Now she just waits until I get motivated to change the tires on the wheels
For me it is break time. Almost getting to be too much work for an old guy like me. In a week and a half I will be 74
