oh she needs a 2 bros exhaust too they sound awesome on that bike

 

Well that certainly doesn't suck. Another very clean bike you have there, BadS1.


Hold the phone - you got $4500 on a trade in? That's unreal, man.

 

Yep that what I got. And I have fender eliminator coming..... front turnsignals..... intergrated taillight and I won the bid on a red Honda parts solo cover at $21.50 on ebay last night. Goes in next Saturday for correct rear tire. These are now b016's on it now but the guy that owned it put a 180/55 when it should of been a 190/50. Tire is on its way also from ebay

 

Still have the solo seat cover?

 

BTW the 180/55 is a better tire for sport riding than a 190/50. Turn in is better and handling is improved overall. A 190/55 is even better in some ways but the added rear ride height will quicken the steering a little which makes some people feel the bike is a touch more nervous at speed. The only tire that is pure crap is a 190/50 with its flat profile and dodgy feel as you approach full lean. I went through this issue on my 954 and talked to a lot of people before going to the 55 series profile and will never go back on street or track.

 

Is it ?? LOL That would be your personal opinion. Have you ever looked at a AMA Superbike Slick?? Got news for ya.... its a 50.

 

Go to Dunlops website: DunlopRacing.com. They will list the AMA slicks and DOT race tires. 55 and 60 profiles. Yes it is my personal opinion and that of many others. Ultimately you use whatever works for you. Personally on track and off I don't know any I've ridden with who like the 50 after trying the 55 or 60

My original post wasn't to make you wrong it was just to clarify why the original owner had gone to a 180/55. Even on a 6 inch rim they work very well, it wasn't a mistake on his part. The 180/55 typically, depending on tire brand is about 4mm taller than a 190/50 with a 190/55 about 10 mm taller. 190/60 are big.

here is a nice comparison shot http://image.sportrider.com/f/860437...e5-01-zoom.jpg

any way your bike looks great and you got a great deal Enjoy :>))

 

OOps meant to say 60. I have two AMA slicks sitting in my basement. Quick to hit buttons. But a they are 200's and a 60 has slower turn in then a 55. And yes the bike handled very funny with the 55 on it. It was something I knew the very first second I went into a long sweeper. Tires are preference to an opinion. Most that I know would not be on a 180 this wheel. They prefer the 60 on faster tracks like Road America where its my back door. The bike is now very tuned for track day use now.
