Default Damn...........

So about 8 mos ago, (bought my Classic in 07/12) I found a set of 09 Street Glide take of wheels with 0 miles that I bought and put on my Classic. Didn't care for how "busy" the Knuckles wheels were with the skinny white wall stripe as well.
2 days ago I bought the Contrats Chrome Anarchy from the Moco with the 19" set up, and come to learn of the service bulletins for the tire, and bearing recalls on the 09's.
Wholy ****, every time I had the front end up over the past 10 mos to clean, or change oils, I noticed some drag on the front tire and just chaulked it up to a brake dragging, for it would clear up after a revolution or 2. Well, it weren't the case, both bearings were ****, junk.......

Now with the Agitator out there she free wheels till the cows come home.
And the front tire had some gnarley seperation happening inside, which I could feel as riding at speed, which helped push me into the new direction (at least mama excepted the excuse for the $1150 acquasition)..... :O
