A CAR TIRE ON THE ROCKET 3 ROADSTER?!

[@noahmercy-mann4323]

Excellent bike to darkside. Heavy, lots of torque, and equipped from the factory with a huge rear tire so handling with a car tire won't take a lot of getting used to (not that there is a ton of difference...mainly a little more effort to initiate lean).

Couldn't agree more! I'm on a few Rocket 3 forums on facebook and this exact tire is very commonly used 🤟 i can definitely see why!! It'll be hard going back to a regular motorcycle tire 😅

Always wanted to do this since I got mine in 2015… the time has come!

Great DIY video mate! I had DS on my Fat Bob and a C109R Boulevard. Good decision to make except be wary on uneven roads as the flat tread tends to follow the slope but it’s all good apart from that 👍

Awesome job! Waiting for the next one with bated breath. You have really gotten my attention with this Rocket 3 project! ✌🏾

[@NicePantsLance]

Thank you for tuning in! 😁 this is one of the wildest projects I've featured on the channel! Very excited to keep making Rocket 3 content 🤟

Ran Riken Raptor darkside on an '06 Rocket. Hated it for 30k miles. Great mileage for the price, handled like crap on uneven pavement, always felt like I was leaning left on crowned roads. Had to cut the tire off just like you did. Won't go there on my '13 Rocket Roadster.

Poppie & Nonnie killing it with balancing bead wiations and tearing that tire off🤘

They're hired!!! Honorary mechanics in the NicePantsLance garage if you ask me 😁

[@dejanmeki]

I am thinking of putting Michelin Defender 215/60/16 i hope it fits, those like 100K rated

Cant wait to see the 1st ride! Your assistant rocks!

[@NicePantsLance]

She's the best mechanic assistant in the NicePantsLance garage!! 🤘

[@RogerBankerFishmiser]

Looks sick with that fat tire! Cant wait to see how it rides!

[@NicePantsLance]

I'm very excited to show how this bike handles with that car tire on the back! 🤘

[@DavidSanchez-ey7vj]

What brand jack you used to jack up the motorcycle?

[@daveo9844]

Good decision, especially with the price of rubber these days 🍻

[@NicePantsLance]

Those 240 section rear tires are almost $300 a piece and i go through them almost once a year! 💀 this car tire is like $70 😅

[@jeffruebens8355]

Saving a lot of money with a car tire that lasts a lot longer, makes sense for lots of straight roads and almost no cornering.

[@NicePantsLance]

I'm definitely excited to see how this tire handles in the turns! If it even turns at all 😂 it'll either be an excellent video, or possibly my last video 💀
