Hey Robo; With T/S Fay straddeled over Florida for the past week dropping historic amounts of rain, I put off taking my bike in for the tire change. During that time, I did some more research and found out that the"C" designantion for the rear tire on my K requires a larger (1/2") rim so I am staying with the original 17 rear.
Sun is out today for the first time in over a week and I think I'll put a few miles on the old tires this afternoon. Thanks again for your help.<...

Really glad you mentioned the"C" tire designantion. I bought the bike used and it turns out I have a Metzler 170/60 ZR 17 on the rear now. All the parts guy did was look at the old tire and ordered the same one. When I called the owner of the shop this am, he told me a 180/55ZR 17C is the OEM tire size and reordered the correct tire. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the info Robo. I am having a dealer provide and install z6's for me next week. I am taking the bike to NC to ride the twisties next month and the new rubber will be nice. As for the "C" designation, I will call the shop and confirm tomorrow. Thanks again Robo.
