How much are you all paying for your Scorp Trails? Any Tips on the best and cheapest source?

Anywhere but the dealership

Paid $160ish a couple months ago for the rear from a mom&pop...they ordered it in.

Going in tomorrow for the front...will let you know

That's what I have been seeing. A little pricey for my taste, but I don't see a good choice.

I bought them from Motorcycle Superstore http://motorcycle.motorcycle-superstore.com/search #w=Scorpion+Trail

$120 front and $168 rear. Maybe not the cheapest, but I really like MSS. Good customer service and they're fast!

Does anyone have any experience running the wrong size tire on the Uly rim? I believe the Trail is designed for a 6 inch rim, not the Uly's 5.5 inch rim.

I found this info which makes a pretty good case that running a fatter tire may result in poorer/unpredictable tire performance and lower overall tire life.

I would also be interested in any information about tire size and it's impact on handling.

Oh man, there's been about 10 thread discussing running Trails in a 190 on the Uly.

The handling is not noticeably effected at all!

The Uly rear wheel seems to be forgiving. I run 160 Distanzias with no problems. They're SM tires with good on and off road grip.
