Paid $298 to my door for a 120/70/21 ww metz. Some peeps on here dont have to believe me, thats fine, but i got proof and pics.

Besides, my country a** aint payin $450 for a tire. Seems like us east coast boys may have one up on yall, huh bobber lol j/k

i understand what country is saying they deleted my swing arm bag post about hog deluxe which should have never happened it was because he was a sponsor and was loosing money. If the facts are true then a post should stand if your a sponsor and you screw up big time you got to pay the price. I have heard about the metz avon and so on with 21 inch white walls installed months ago. i believe i put up a post about it. I have not really looked at my vee yet but if it turns out to be crap ill order one from the guy country got his from I also complained about the over inflated prices on the vee that some sellers were sticking it to us i hope they are all stuck with them now that they loaded up to make another killing. I take country's word about the metz if he said its good that's good enough for me

Thanks for the info Stone.

They make a torque wrench for this but this is how we have always done our moto cross bikes. No problems.

That stash of Vee Rubber 120/70/21 WW tires I found for $205.00 shipped doesn't sound so good now. Looks like everyone is going to have to start selling them at blem prices. That's gotta suck but I am sure there are still people that will buy them if they just are not that picky or don't mind using shoe polish.
