Looks like the cover of Motorcycle News

OK where's the rest then ?- I wanna see the tailpiece and front fairing...............
or didya chicken out ?

Dunno about those shoes tho'

 

oh thats just wrong on so many levels

 

I will do just that DMod next time I'm in Hooters

 

i didnt do any more than the main fairing. i think it would have been too much with the entire bike. i bled it off onto the smaller fairing that covers where your thighs ride just so it wouldnt just stop completely.

 

Must be all the stickers you acquired from Summit and Jegs etc from your other motorised
activities over the years eh ?

 

i actually put the word out that i was doing this to a few other places and people happily obliged to send me a plethora of stickers just for this. i still have a ton left over that i'm going to have to find a place for.

 

went a ride today , average speed , Ive been feeling a bit unstable in the front on right handers . a quick check shows extreme wear on the right hand side of the tyre . its only done 3000kms , the rear looks fine . im thinking the dunlop sportsmart duel compond is to blame . any thoughts ?

 

Never used those tyres, but these bikes are very heavy. Mine likes to chew up the front tyre as well, but all of my riding is twisty stuff. If you do a lot of roundabouts, the right side of the front is going to take a hammering, especially if the side compound is very soft. I actively seek out good left-handers to even the tyres up

Normally I get through 2 fronts for 1 rear, got Maxxis sport/touring tyres on and they seem to be lasting quite well and the handling is nice and controlled. They don't have a particularly aggressive profile, so you have to be quite positive into the corners. But they're cheap and work well enough.

 

Leaky forks - seized brake caliper maybe !

 

thanks guys . i think maybe just the tyre . I'm out in the middle of nowhere , not many round abouts . been thinking my riding style must be off esp thru right handers , but man ,this tyre has like a 45deg flat spot !!
