The change of a tire is a relatively small cost upgrade, they really said the 38 would fit on those stock rims? Please post a pic when you get it, you don't see enough of them on here
Yes, the 35c tires will be mounted on the stock rims. My reason for swapping tires would be the same as yours as I found the ride of the 2011 7.5 FX I took for a test ride to be a little too jarring for the streets around me. I'm hoping to have the bike within a week or so as they told me it could be between 2 and 3 weeks (I ordered it on Tuesday, June 5th) but I will definitely post some pics when it arrives.
