We All,

I posted a few threads, one about the Uly and the missing pinch bolts in the front forks. Short version, Dealer put screws in. Long rant about dealers later.

I also went ahead and got a set of the Pirelli Angel ST tires from Comp Acc. Great folks and turn time. Had the tires in 3 days. Got them mounted up and have put about 150 miles on them, all in town so far. MAN O MAN does the bike like these tires!

I know its all the tires but I think in my heart that 25 % of the ill handle of this bike since I bought it was the missing fork pinch bolts allowing the axle and forks to never work like they should. With the new tires and the bolts in this bike rocks in the turns. I hope never to drag a peg on this bike like I do on my V Strom but man its on rails now.

The Articles on the Angel tire mention they saw the angel disappear at 650 miles. Well its almost gone down the center 2 inches at 150 miles! AHhahaaaaaaaa. We will see what the life of this tire will be.....
