Im guessing some of you guys are former 750 Shadow owners. I cant seem to get a good answer on the Shadow boards.

Im looking for wide whitewalls for my 06 750 Aero.

The best Ive come up with is a Dunlop D404 in size 140-80-17 for the front $105, and a Dunlop K555 in a 170-80-15 for the rear $140.

Since these are slightly different sizes than OEM (120-90-17, 170-80-15) Im wondering if they will fit. Once I buy them, they are mine.

And, I havent given up on the VTX, once I sell my Mustang, my sister will ride the Shadow, and I will buy the VTX for myself, so I will be around.

hate to say it but the tires you have listed have been on back order everywhere.

They were even hard to find befor Dunlop went on strike.

I say piss on Dunflop tires, I will go with Metzlers on my next order.

Sadly, I think you're going to be out of luck on doing a 140 on the front wheel. It looks to me as if it would wind up rubbing - you have to realize that the 140 is almost a full inch wider than the 120.

I looked around and couldnt find a 120 in a wide white, either. Sorry man

CharlieD: I had minimal trouble finding the wide whites in those sizes for my bike. In fact, I went ahead and bought a second set just in case they get hard to find like everyone keeps saying they are.
