E-Lite 3s will let you do wheelies, stopies, corner as if on rails and add 10mph too your top speed.

Yes, they are that good.

Just installed another D402 on the rear. Jake Wilson is where I got it. Do a search for coupons and codes, I got 20% off. Sounds like others are getting a hell of deal on the Elite 3s. There was a code listed in another thread last week.

The two least expensive places I have found is Dennis Kirk and Jake Wilson.

Avon Cobra will never buy anything else I got 12,000 miles out of it. Only got 4,500 out of the stock D205 and 5,500 miles out of a Dunlop D407
