Yes, please post pictures of this. Agree looks nice, but what are those weird "bubbles" at the edge of the tire? I tried to post a picture to explain as an attachment, but have never done this before. Hope you can see it. Thanks.

Having a slight bit of tuning issue with the 57h cams. quite a bit of spark knock logged on rear cylinder, upwards of 6 to 7 degrees, in the 3800-5000 range under higher kpa (80-100). I'm not sure yet if this is 'false knock' since the knock counts are only 1 at each event. usually when you have real knock in a specific area you'll see multiple counts logged. bike runs good though. more investigation needed.

Naaa, there ain't no bubbles...only looks a tiny bit rougher, but it's all smooth and fine.

EagleRay is being a bit of a puss and not pushing it in the turns as hard as he should. LOL!!! (kidding EagleRay)

EagleRay, looks outstanding. Just wondering because I just got my 2016 CVO Pro Street Breakout and have 1100 miles on it and don't like the way the tire is wearing in the center and I do a lot of "twisties". Want to purchase a tire soon because I can see the tire worn out by the end of this riding season.
Got it. Thanks.

In order to limit the amount of center wear on the stock rear tire I decided to run a pressure of 36psi that spread the wear area a little bit further to the sides. But the reduced psi combined with the overall poor shape of the stocker makes the bad impact on cornering even worse.
So I would recommend not to wait until the stock tire is worn down but to replace it ASAP. It's not only a matter of riding fun and handling but also a matter of safety!
Yeah, the subject with those crappy stock tires on the Breakout has been discussed here on several threads.....just do some research and you'll find a lot of valuable info on tire brands and sizes the guys here use with their Breakouts. I would strongly recommend the Metzler ME880 for both rear and front.
