so Saturday I was out for a ride and stopped off to get a dew and smoke a cig... well this guy comes walking by and starts off "Nice bike" and without taking a breath he adds "is that a nail in the rear tire?" I was like Crap... so I went to the dealer and I have the 3 yr super duper service contract.. not only did I get a brand new tire I got a Michilen Pilot... and I went to a 190 from the stock 180... rides so much better.... now would that be concidered a Mod?? but nothing came out of pocket on this either..... Sweet deal.

That is a good deal but... you should've stayed with the 180. The section radius has now changed since the bigger tire is squeezed into a smaller rim, and ride height has changed.

actually I like the the ride hight on this bigger tire its verry minute but yes it has changed and as far as the ride its so much better than the stock Dunlop. feels smoother through turns to me.

I have to say... I just put a pilot power on the rear of my bike beginning of this season. Beats the crap outta that stock D208. I'll never go back to Dunlop after runnin this pilot power... I'm scrapin pegs all day now and don't think a thing of it.
