MacBuell: What days are you free. Blaster: Me either! Will this day never end?! I ride from Coke HQ (across the street from GA Tech) to Lawrenceville, only 30 miles, but can take forever on a Friday. Ride Safe |

When I rode in this morning, I flew through Atlanta in the HOV. Even in the fog and rain the Buell is more fun than the cage any day, (Message edited by blaster_s on October 29, 2004) |

B_S: I asked about tires @ SMHD/Buell earlier this week. The Scorpions are $94.57 and $114.97 + tax. Just curious so I asked if they could get the Diablos. They said they could get them through, I think, DRAG for $154.95 and $197.95 + tax (Too much). *** They also said that the Scorpions were to be Only used with the Villian wheels. *** Yes, this doesn't make any sense to me either, but this is what they have been told. Something about the bead area being different From what I have found so far, the best prices are parts411. Front and rear Diablos for about $200 + shipping and the M1s were $3 less. |

Glitch: Do you know what the story is on the Scorpions? And are the Z6 s worth a try? (Message edited by Fran_dog on October 29, 2004) |

I have the Diablos and I love 'em. The villain wheels look great and I will be adding them to my bike some day. Probably not any time soon. Glitch, I am available any time Sunday for a ride. |

Aren't the Villian wheels just the normal XB wheels painted black? |

Do you know what the story is on the Scorpions? The way they're listed in the book leads one to believe they only go with the City Cross. But, the reason they're listed that way is so if someone wants the OEM tire, it's a no brainer to match what goes with which. And are the Z6 s worth a try? Couldn't tell you, I've not tried them. I'm sure they're fine though, more tour than sport is what I've heard. I am available any time Sunday for a ride. I'll give you a call as soon as I know some times. Aren't the Villian wheels just the normal XB wheels painted black? Shred's were XB12 wheels, there was a spot that didn't get painted, you could see the amber coating. Not sure if it's paint or powder coat, most likely paint. |

Did SMHD quote the Diablo Corsa's? }Good question, I'll double check. Stealthxb: They warned against it (the Scorpions without the Villans), but I don't understand it. Someone out there knows, but who I don't know. Aren't the Villian wheels just the normal XB wheels painted black? That's what I thought. It's a mystery to me. |

I THINK the Corsa's are the "high performance" versions of the Diablo's. |

The wheels are all the same! Stone Mountain Sold, Mounted, Balanced and Installed the Scorpion Syncs for me! They are skinnier than the Dunlops but only because the 207's and 208's are actually 190's. Confused yet?

STMD/B cannot be competitive on tires not bought by Harley Davidson. I asked if they could get the Diablo's and was told not to get them. Right now you can get the Scorpion's for cheap, about $40 off retail. Glitch, keep me posted on times for sunday, I will have to run kinda early afternoon though, my bud called and is gonna cook out and wants us to come up, he never gives more than 2 days notice. Ride Safe. |

Clown, I am anxious to get some hard numbers on these pipe mods. Hopefully all goes well with Glitch today. The wife and I were actually talking about coming up as she knows I want to come up and meet everyone plus we can get some Christmas shopping done. What are the times for next weekend as far as dyno times, etc. Sat and sunday or just saturday? |
