Well, that's something at least. would have been nice if they just charged you that to begin with. So you don't have to find something to spend the credit on. I was curious, so I looked up what I paid last summer.

How do you like the bias ply/radial combo? Many manufacturers are doing this now on baggers.Well, that's something at least. would have been nice if they just charged you that to begin with.

I like these tires. I'm just out on the bike now, and was through a few good turns. Definitely gonna drag the pegs before any slippage. I lowered the pressure to 38/38. I think I'll leave it there for a while

Yea definitely share the link I'm pretty certain imgoing to end up with some kind of tire chaging setup. It just makes more sense in the long run

That’s a Rocket, son.
That’s the pressure I run mine on.

My technique has improved. It doesn't take much strength if you use plenty of lube and remember to keep pushing the tire down (behind the tool) into the rim.

Hahaha.Oh, yeah, we've had this talk before. You, my friend need V, but I'm not going 130 mph. For me just torquey torquey in the twisties.

I've had one of these marc parnes balancers for years. I put it across two jack stands. But tires are getting pretty good these days. I actually skipped balancing last change. Even the front. And no vibes at 115.My technique has improved. It doesn't take much strength if you use plenty of lube and remember to keep pushing the tire down (behind the tool) into the rim.

I almost always have to put 4-5 weights on the front- no matter what brand. Could be the FOBO sensors if all else is goodI've had one of these marc parnes balancers for years.
