There's a Guru'd gen 2 on FB marketplace with UFOS, Blvd windscreen, low-pro backrest, and fat tire kit. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/860175387939872/

LOL, I check my oil every time my Missus happens to be nearby while I happen to be sitting on the bike. "Hey babe, would you m.." "I know - look in that the little window. Yeah, it's good." "Thanks babe. You're the best...dipstick I ever had."

You running a 200 on the rear? If so, I wonder what difference the 240 would make.

Yeah. Even in my ignorance I was unable to overcome my skepticism for 42 psi. Hence only going to 40. You're correct that the center is pronounced. These are actually 888s which are supposed to be an updated 880.

Thanks guys. I'd never considered how a road's surface curvature might influence wear pattern. Fellow Carolina member Jerry Klay also mentioned that possibility in an email this a.m. My riding consists almost exclusively of back roads. Lots of leans with frequent front braking. I started...

Yeah same. I can't find it described as dual compound anywhere.

I bet this may be it. It's a touring cruiser tire that boasts high milage. That makes perfect sense. I do corner a little on the aggressively. I've never seen this pattern on any of my past bikes. I keep the front and rear both at 40 psi.

Agreed. It's only the front at this point but no, it's not been on a dyno.

Thanks for this post. I'm going to try your settings.

While putting on the bike cover I noticed the weirdest looking wear pattern on the front tire. The tread had a raised strip running along the center. This ain't no chicken strip, it's raised. Pretty uniform too. WTH is going on with this Metzeler ME888? Edit: Both pics are of the front tire.

Like BadMax said, those unfortunately aren't designed for the Gen 2's configuration. I used that same lift extensively on my last 3 bikes but they were all Harleys. I personally wouldn't raise a VMax by supporting it on the pipes. You're essentially placing the weight of the bike on the exhaust...

Thanks Rick. That's exactly what I needed to convince me to just stick with the 200. Appreciate the info!

Wow, I've never heard anyone call a horse a gee-gee. My daughter called foo-foos. Although she was 2 at the time.

Holy snikeys. Been seeing YouTubers using rag after rag of that stuff to enhance the "patina" on old cars.

Why is it separated exhaust (i.e. dual exhaust) is considered "sporty" in the auto world but for bikes, # into1 is synonymous with high performance?

I think I read you have to disconnect the final drive to change 240s. Of so, that's a huge Con for me. Otherwise, I think 240s are friggin badass.

Right on. PM sent.

Interested in the bulb for $50 shipped. Curious as to why you never installed it though.

Interesting and I can see that happening. There are examples of subtle badging variations between CA and US BMWs.
