hi im dags from goulburn Australia , i recently bought my first harley a 2010 rocker c , it has a 240mm rear tyre and a 90mm front ,
i have not riden for a long time and im finding that the rear tyre seems to push the bike in a sraight line while cornering , and i often have to back of a bit to feel confident enough to get through the corner , im not riding beyond the speed limit , but just dont feel confident enough on some corners , does anyone have any tips for riding the rocker with such a wide rear tyre.

Hey Dags,
Warm welcome to down under! Nice bikes those rockers. I have ridden bikes with the big back tires. You have to ride it on the edge of the tire and muscle it. You will get use to it after you have ridden it for a while. Just ride safely and at the speed that you are comfy with.
Lets see some pics!
