I hear ya brother! The only way I got my setup was I got it for free from progressive when I loaned them my bike for a couple of days.

I also noticed youre still running Dunlop tires (like me). Hopefully that will put to rest the wives tale about Dunlops not sticking. Dont blame the tires if the rider cant ride.

Well I'm a fan of bridgestones. These are just the tires that came on the bike and I won't replace perfectly good tires. They perform pretty good actually.

That's how I feel about it, cool to hear it from someone else....

You have a little ways to go before you rub a hole in it, mines a little worse then yours and I'm still good.

Yeah, I got the bottom of my primary the other day. Both pegs are ground down pretty good, and now I've gone and nailed the primary, too.

Oh well. That's what I love about the Dyna - one can really 'get on' the thing.
