The bags and windshield are cruiser comforts, easy enough to remove for a day at the track: Cat delete, Akrapovic system, Air mod, Gurued flash, Pegs lowered 1", Bar raised 2", Aircraft alu bag frame, custom bags, titanium mirror/ windshield/ handlebar support, custom cut polycarbonate UV...
Hi all, I have been looking at front tires for my 2001 (as I found mine is 10yrs old)
With the new technology I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on a fairly sticky tire.
I ride fairly aggressively (sometimes).
I live in Vancouver, Canada & the weather can vary considerably, so hot or cold...
About 300 miles ago I put a set of Metzler Roadtech 01's on my bike and they are all they claim to be. No more rolling burnouts they've become instant wheelies. They feel like rails around corners especially long sweepers. I've only had one opportunity to ride them on wet roads. They did...

My options:
1. Ride lightly and hope the...

So, got the rear tire swapped out (rode over a nail!!!), but I pulled it myself to save a few bucks. Have done it once or twice before. When I was putting things back, I think I lost a spacer. I've looked all over my garage though, and cannot find anything. This is what I have.
