Well I finally finished putting my wheels back on. With the help of HKWAN telling me to bite the bullet and take the wheels of myself (which I have done to my past three bikes, for some reason I was choking on the buell - probably the belt or something). Pretty easy except for the stupid metric to Sae tool idiocy (mine) and lack of tool use guide in the repair manual. Only problems I had... both torque wrenches I own don't register torque going to the right (to tighten the front axle)... only thing I could figure was to tighten... release, and reverse until I finally triggered the torque. Anyone else figure out a "Better" solution? And the fact that the pilot roads I was told yesterday that were in stock ceiling high in the back room... suddenly became... just one front tire... so I had to go with battle axes 220s... after reading the write up and talking to the "tire guy" at cycle gear, they seemed a good fit... but heck the XB is SO frigging easy, I'm not worried if I don't like them... I'll just pull them early if it comes to that! |

If you don't like the Bridge's, let me know. I believe that I will be going back to those, barring the mileage issue I have had with my current set up. |
