[QUOTE="Tory, post: 7734, member: 64"] That is the wrong tire for that bike. The weight carrying capabilty for the 404 on the 82-83 wings is way under what it should be.The 404 is fine for the 80-81s If a dunlop is what you like then I suggest the 491 if you can still get it or the new E3s.Thats what I have and I love them. Check this link for specs [url=https://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com]https://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com[/url] The weight carring of the rear E3 is 930 pounds The weight carring of the 404 is 760 pounds Although these numbers arent much differant for the 80-81s,the swing arm is closer on the 82-83s and YOU WILL HAVE RUBBING on the sidewall of the tire.Especially if you run 2 up. I had an issue on a 404 and noticed a rub mark at about 500 miles.Fortunitly I met a nice couple at an ice cream shop that had the same issue on there 83,after blowing out the second one (luckily they brought it to a stop with out injury) they forced the tire shop that kept putting them on to investigate a bit further,dunlop said DONT DO THAT! The shop repaired the minor damage on the bike and they went to the E3 and passed that info on to me before I had to learn the hard way. I started doing the math. Bike 850lbs wet Me 270lbs (dont say it) wife 150lbs gear 50lbs total 1270lbs devide by 2 635lbs And I know the bike is not 50/50 weight front to back,and that doesnt include the trailor.(Or chrome :lol: ) [/QUOTE]
