XB Tires


As I said earlier in this thread (above), I ordered Michelin Pilot Roads (Darn French!).... Unfortunatly, they are still backordered until OCT 15ish.... Soooo... Desperate for a set of tires I settled for the OEM 207s again..... Darn French!... Now I'll have to go through two rears before I can try something different.... Darn French!

I've got a set of the OEM 207's if your interested - they only have 830 miles on them.

XB9,

That would mean they're halfway done.... at least the rear anyway.... thanks for the offer, but the bike is in the shop as I type getting re-shoed...

October 15th. That's just a week. Patience is a virtue.

Get the Pilots when they come in, get a box of screws and use the Dunlops to ice race with.

The 15th is about when they make it to the states... then it has to get to the distributer, then to the dealer.... realisticly we're looking at OCT/begining NOV.... I have not thy virtue of patience (that long anyway)... Plus, I just got a call from the dealer saying that when they were balancing the rear they noticed that the rear disc was "way warped"... I was shocked because I use the rear brake in conjunction w/the front when braking (almost always)...And I never noticed a thing from the rear... The front had a little shake though... Its under warrenty, so have at it... it will be a couple of days before the parts arrive though.... so it looks like I'm running the CAGE for a few days more.....
