lol, just looks big in the pic. Hopefully, since these are for my day cruisers, these may last me for the year. These tires wore well for the 10r before the supposedly new numbers. It is all a combination of factors. Match tires, track surface, temps, pressures, suspension, bike tune and rider input as we all know. But my wife looks at me and just shakes her head as she walks away saying **** like Thank God you are not a crack head.

Heh, heh. I like your new sig line!

I need to learn how to change tires. Not enough practice yet. I spend an hour on a tire my bike shop guy does with just hand tools in five minutes.

I did get the tires mounted, still need balanced. Today was such a nice day, I did rebuild the front forks on the 10r finally, adjusted to the 110mm fluid height after popping a seal. That ol gal is prolly spitting on me for taking so long.

She may be spitting now, but she'll give you a great big 'ol bear hug once you've mounted her and revved her up!

The kit ecu is now on the 6RR, no dyno yet. Repaired a bad fuel pump relay wire. The wire had been ripped out of the connector.

Got the Hel full front lines tonight. I am not partial to the split lines that were on it. The '07 nissins are installed with the SBS race pads. I still need to rebuild the MC with the newer/upgraded kawi components. (On the shelf)

I did bend the Vortex rearset back to straight. Was kind of surprised that it did not break. Some soft materials used for the peg stays. The Attacks are still going to replace the Vortex.

Doing the safety wiring as I go. The BT003's are in place, chain cleaned, axle clip in place. Water and amsoil coolant boost installed after flushing. The rad cap is safety drilled and wired. The oil and filter will be next.
