Default great way to improve cornering on FXD

check your tire pressure !!!! Been riding around for a month with 12 PSI on my rear tire. Forgot to put air back in after some street drags. I just couldnt figure out where that azz end waddle was coming from. Check your tire pressure guys. I almost bought that $400 tru trax system. Still may.

Yeah, you'll never find me deflating my tires on purpose. What is a street drag that requires 12psi in the rear tire?

jarhead, can't imagine anyone thinking they would actually gain traction by reducing tire pressure.. the 402 or whatever tire is on it, whether properly inflated, or 2/3 flat as 12 psi would have made it, yeow that almost hurts the brain to think about it. have fun riding. just not next to me please.
