Glad you didn't go the JB Weld route! | ||

I put a Shinko 009 Raven on the front of mine. I'll put one on the rear when the Strada (7K miles on it now) is done. Edit: I got new black bearings too, but they are SKF's.   (Message edited by rwven on August 23, 2009) | ||

Actually...I did do the JBweld..it held for about nine of the ten pulls I did during my test ride before I left for the dealer. (very gentle pulls that I synced with the rear brake) I ended up using wire-ties to hold it in place. It had about 20-30% of the brake power. I was used to it, cuz I rode around with a barely usable badly pulsing front brake for a month. From what I've read here, I don't think these Sync's are gonna give me the mileage that the dunlops did. (9k) Those Shinko 009 Ravens look good. | ||

Over on Adventure Rider there was some talk of Shinko producing their dual sport tire in sportbike sizes. That would be great for you "X" riders. I haven't had a chance to ride since I put the tire on so I can't comment on it's performance. I've read reviews of guys getting 12K miles out of a rear. They reportedly turn in a bit slower than some tires but the Uly turns in plenty quick anyway. | ||

Earlier today I fired off a note to Pirelli asking them to consider producing their MT-60 rear tire in 180/55-17 for the Buell Ulysses. | ||

That would be sweet. I also heard a rumor that Metzler might put out a Tourance in Sportbike sizes as well, but so far, even with the release of the Tourance 2, it hasn't happened. | ||

I sometimes get a little rear tire spin climbing the shortcut home. The more agressive tread would be helpful. | ||

Dam..you ride that? Get someone to video it from the top!! looks like fun. | ||
| Blake |
With someone taking video I'd be sure to dump it halfway up.  | ||

With someone taking video I'd be sure to dump it halfway up. You know your video will get a LOT more attention if it includes a dump.  | ||

>>>You know your video will get a LOT more attention if it includes a dump. I get more than enough of that kind of attention to suit me already! | ||
