Or just run it out of the grooves, it can be done you know, and Yes, I like the Elite 3's and they will be my next tires before anybody jumps on that bandwagon.

I had the same issue with my 02 EGC. I went to Michelins, & couldn't be happier. Don't even have the "wiggle" that one buys a brace for. I highly recommend Michelins without reservation.

I've run stock Dunlops, Metzlers, Michelins and now Dunlop EIII's (my favorite). As far as I'm concerned they're all better than stock but nothing including my Works shocks and fork springs made a bigger difference in the way my bike handles than the Bagger Brace.

Until you swap tires, relax your grip and go with the flow. I've found that worked for me on my older bike. The 09 Ultra doesn't seem to do that with the new Dunlops on it.
