Ordered. Should be here Friday. Definitely went overkill on the speed rating. Have Hs(130mph)on currently. Putting a V(149mph) on the rear. Hell, I never get close to the H rating(130mph). But safe than sorry tho and is a plus on the dyno!
One thing I hadn't really given much thought to is mixing the two brands/tread patterns. I know the two are meant to work together. Front and rear. As far as rain goes that is which I rarely do anyway. My front 888 is like new and I can't justify replacing it at this time.
Also, opinions on beads vs Ride On vs weights.

So long story short I ended up going with cruisetec.. I think they're pretty comparable to the cobras chromes. My initial impression is wow! Like night and day from the 888!
Question about tire pressure...Go by my service manual or? It says 40psi. My Indy has it at 46psi. What say ye?
Edited because I found it on Metzler's site to go by the FSM. 40Psi Rear. 36Psi Front.
