well i have about 1/2 inch on the left and 3/4 on the right, i have no intention on leaning any further in the near future. ive been riding for about 3 months and if people will judge me by my tires, so be it.

but y is that i can not lean as far to the right as i can to the left? i just dont get that.

You might have better body positioning to your right. When I first started getting my bike over I always had a strip on my right but nothing on my left and I think it was because I was more comfy hanging off on right handers.

Tyre profile can affect things too. But basically, stop thinking about it. It doesn't really matter.

To my amazement I once saw stick on bonnet(hood) pins for cars. They were basically like "real" ones but with double sided tape to stick them on. Yes, people will buy anything.

I'm going to close this one. The actual question about "chicken strips" has been answered. And this is Street Skills, not Off Topic
