  1. Sportecs are great, stick like glue and are cheap. Expect maybe 3k from the rear if you take it easy. Not a milage tire.

    Perfect! Thanks. I took a spill on my TL two week ago wearing Dunlop's; 208 front. To date I am trying to figure out what happened but in a casual right hander, the front just gave up from under me. It has maybe 400 miles on it and was not cold since I was returning from a 70 mile ride. Could have been a mix of gravel and grease but I have lost trust in Dunlops; not passing a judgement on the tire but I will not feel comfortable riding on them again. I am looking for a tire that would stick like glue regardless of the mileage and looks like the sportec would fit the bill. Thanks again.

  2. Hi MaXX, matey,

    I am looking to get the handy industries stands since a while. I am in a similar situation as you matey. I would ideally like something that works for my XX and TL. Could you guys tell me which stands you have with reference to the following page?

    http://www.handyindustries.com/standpackages.asp

    Since my only option with the XX without any modifications may just be a stand with rubber pads (as specified on the page), I wonder if these would work on the TL as well.

    Sorry to use your thread for a specific question Jim.

    Thanks,

    Navin.

  3. I think I read something about needing to jet the carbs

    Stock setting is lean as is on the carb models. Jetting is recommended with slipons or a full system for better performance. I just felt that since I was not going to jet the bike, an aftermarket exhaust remains basically for a different sound :) Therefore I decided to stick with stock.
