Beautiful cloudless Spring Day so simply rode it today 182 miles of smiles.

Then washed it! Not so much fun but therapeutic nonetheless.

I just found a shop in France that had the Metzeler Cruistec 130/60- 21 in stock so I bought it at $236,35 shipped.

K9F, not sure if I can see properly but looking at the exhaust tips, isn't your rear cylinder running a bit richer than the front one?

It is indeed and has done since day one. My 48 which was also tuned did it too. Not such a bad thing considering where the rear cylinder is located and the reduced cooling it gets because of it. Takes quite a few miles to blacken to that extent. Once she's been cleaned you never know as I am one of the mild OCD individuals that run a rag with some Autosol in the ends of the pipes, helps me sleep a little more soundly at night.

Hi All. Been running Dunlop E3's front and rear on my 2014 BO (stock wheels). Thinking of switching to Avon Cobra's. What sizes, front and rear (max rear), are you Avon guys running ?

Thanx

I have Metz 260 rear. Bought a Metz 120/70 for the front. Still haven't got the front tire on yet.

I just bought a new front a week ago in size 130, it took me a long time to find someone who had stock and didn't ask for gold. I found plenty of the 120 but I absolutely wanted to stay with the 130.

Thanx guys, your responses are much appreciated. I was really interested in sizing for the Avons though. Price disparities for tires is somewhat different up here in Kanukistan.
