WABDR and a 09 XB12X, here we come!!! Kenda K270 4.60/17 (approx 2" larger diameter than OEM) and we already know that a 150 rear can be made to fit. I'm using the Pirelli Scorpion Rally cause it cost less than the Kenda Big Block and Conti. It's was also made specifically for the big Dakar bikes. The Kenda was a slick fit (and only $55). I've test ran it across some ugly big and sharp rocks, at speed, and without a tube, it has held up perfect. No loss in air pressure. On 8/31/12 I'll be going with 2 BMW GS's and a 2011 KTM Adventure R on the WA state Back Country Discovery Route for a 600 mile offroad adventure from the Columbia River on the OR/WA border, north into BC, Canada. Not only is the Buell untested in this company but the other riders have over twice my age in dual sport experience while I come from sportbike street riding and occasional road course track days background. The bike and I will be performing a first for us both! I'm not a complete fool, I'll have the tools and parts to plug the tires as a tubeless and I'm bringing tubes also, for front and rear, just in case. I was extremely frustrated on the lack of current support for the Uly and offroad equipment. I hope this info will open the gates for more of you to use the Uly as the Adventure Bike it could be.
