    Tire choices for Divy wheel? (XJ900)

    Friend has a Continental Road Warrior (150) on there now. Is this a good choice? What else can I run? Should I stick to 150 size or what is the max size? Thanks!

    Oil on rear tire - What could it be?

    Well, I noticed I have an oil leak somewhere. It's pooling on my rear tire (kickstand side). I haven't noticed it leaking onto the floor though. Is this a simple seal that's leaking or am I in for a rude awakening at the stealership? Thanks All, Steeler

    Avon Venom tire

    To put it shortly, it's the worst tire I've ever used. It absolutely sucks. What? You want some details? Okay, I guess. Note: this is for a 150/90-15 rear tire. Dry traction: Mediocre at best. My Max with the Venture drive can keep it lit up through most of third gear before it finally...

    Tire letter paint! Quick n easy

    Because people asked - I shall answer :) Like the original look of the white lettered Dunlop Qualifiers that came on the Max at some point in it's history? I sure did - as it really gives it that "muscle car" look. I was asked by three separate people this weekend at the bike show how I did...

    anyone need a sticky tire?

    Just thought that i would pass on a good deal on tires. The soft hooks better than a shinko 003 U-soft and is better at high speeds. http://www.jcmotors.com/p-302-michelin-power-race-supersport-rear-motorcycle-tire.aspx

    Anyone every try notching out their own swing arm to allow a wider tire to be installed? If so how much did you cut away and what size tire did you use?

    Easy-Spin Rear Tire?

    What's your thoughts? Which rear tire spins the easiest? Which tire gets the WORSEST traction? I wanna throw one on for a few months just to light up & play hooligan for a while. I'm considering a Dunlop D404 as I can light that up with a 1400 Intruder. Anything better for that? My Avon Venom...
