Hello, first post! 

    Will a 140 80 17 pirelli scorpion trail ii fit on my 2009 v7 classic? My lazertec metzlers are shot and I like the pirellis from previous experience.  Thank you.

I put the Sport Demon tires on my '09 Classic after the Metzlers and have been happy with them

The 140 may have trouble fitting in the swingarm. The 130 is a tight enough fit anyway. I have been informed that a 130/90 will fit on the rear, but haven't tried it myself. Also unsure what effect the 90 would have on the speedo/odo, if any.

Ok, today I went ahead and installed the 140 Pirelli Scorpion trail II and it firs like a glove. Plenty of space next to the swingarm without modification.

Thanks for all the help people!
