  1. Does anybody run a 190 tire on their stock rim??? If so, what do you think on the handling difference, if any.
  2. Mith, i don't ride like a maniac and i also think i ride pretty smoothly. The way Carlos says he rides, spinning the tires up exiting corners, passing cars WFO all the time, etc, etc. I don't do high speed runs, burnouts, any stuff like that. I ride sport/Tour mode. I don't understand how some people can get 7000 miles out of them and some people only get 3400 miles out of them?
  3. I have just about 3400 miles on them now, and there is about 1 mm tread depth left in the rear, if that!!!!!. I'm very disgusted with the mileage that i got out of them!!!! I don't know how Carlos gets 7500 miles out of a rear??????? On June 30th, i got my bike inspected and they marked that there was 3mm left on the rear and 4mm on the front. I went for a ride on July 2nd and put another 300 miles on them. The rear looks bald now. The front still looks fine. I'm gunna start looking for other tires, don't know what i should run. I loved the way my bike handles with them on, but i can't be buying tires every 3500 miles!!!!! I thought a sport tour tire should last between 6000 and 8000 miles????? The 100X's look like a good one for now. Anybody have any input??????
  4. I have a little over 3000 miles on my rear now and they are almost down to the warning marks, or whatever they call it. I may go back to the 010/020 combo again.
  5. It sounds like you got one for a wrong bike. I got a powerbronze DB screen and the fit and quality i thought was great.

    Tank Slap?

    What kind of helmet do you wear????
  7. Nik, Crystal Glo is made in Canada. Any dealer or northman. Which Meguiar's do you like????? I love the Crystal Glo myself. I have to get more. Nik, you see adds for it in the bike mags.
  8. I slow down also, but they're starting to feel squirrely, like they're going to break loose at any second. I soften the back up when i ride in the rain, i just wish i could soften the front. I may have to go with the F3 front fork caps for some adjustment.
  9. I really like my migs. Now that i have a custom map, i can feel the difference at the bottom when pulling the front end up. Also coming out of corners i can feel a little bit of difference. Did i say, that i love the sound of them?
  10. Yeah, i better take some ORAP!!!!!!! Did i say i really like that bike.
  11. WHY THE HELL DID THAT POST THREE TIMES???????????????????????
  12. I love the look of the bike. The ONLY things i don't like on it are the rear mirrors. I also think it would look better with dual highrise pipes.

  15. That's what you get for not looking through the turn. Did you see how the second guy was watching the guy in front of him instead of looking through the turn and was actually folling him. Was there all kind of gravel on the road?? His skid mark looks a little weird, like he was skiding on stones. (Just from the color i was wondering.)
  16. I think it's 6 of one and a half a dozen of another. Traxxion does do alot of GP bikes as well as others. I bought my Penske shock there and their customer service is excellent!!
  17. I LIKE IT!! LOOKS TOTALY DIFFERENT, AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU DID AND CAN BE PROUD OF.
  18. They do stick, stick, stick!!!!!!!!!! In the dry. But now that i have around 3000 miles on them, they don't stick very well in the rain.
  19. The bike looks sweeet Was your handle the only 1100xx before? I was making posts so i can see the progress, but you never responded.
  20. Hit starter and go!!!!!!!!
  21. I have about 3000 miles on mine and no front cupping what-so-ever. I'll probably go through 2 rears before i have to replace both.
  22. I'm planning on about a 300 mile day this sunday the 22nd. I'll drop the rear to 38 and see how it looks during the ride. PETE IN PA, WE'LL BE RIDING RTE. 125 UP TO WHERE IT MEETS RTE.61, THEN TAKE 487 N UP INTO BLOOMSBURG THEN RUN 80 E. TO RTE.339 S. INTO MAHANOY CITY. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.
