Does anyone have any experience with this tire.I know the fender needs to be raised .I am running a 120/70-21 metzeler now and am looking to increase load rating, and maybe improve handling with the wider tire.

I had problems with this tire when I tried it out, ended up too wide for the fender I was using at the time. ended up going back with the 120.

It worked well for others with the stock fender or a wide aftermarket one.

Thanks.I assume not fittinh w/your fender was the only problem. JWK

I was using an aftermarket fender for the 21" tires. It was just too narrow for the 140

when you put the tire on it should be the same profile as the 120-70-21 so slip the tire in and see if you can rais the tire past the axle. I bet you will find you have 1/2 to 3/4 "clearance if you don't take the fender off and you should be able to slot the fender hole and raise it enough.
later
