I like Angel GT tires. Most here like Michelin PR3s (if you can find them) for high mileage. The Pirelli GTs grip like nobodies business but don’t last long. I don’t care. I want grip!

And the first mod should be RLETS or a padawan learner you will be.

Alrighty thanks for the info. What are your thoughts on Pirelli sport demon tires?

Maybe nothing will happen. [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB did not counter popgun, so let's hope for [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b98YFK5Oubo]Peace In The Valley.

What exactly is RLETs?

Also beware of k&n oil filters with a spot welded nut for "easy removal" of the filter, these have been known to break and conveniantly produce a lot of oil just where your rear wheel makes contact with the road, many video's on youtube on that subject and good;"i went on holiday and...." stories.

Each to their own but i wanted to change some things too but after a while just started to appreciate the bike just as it came out of the factory and changed nothing exept recently got a corbin seat for it which i use on the longer trips, recently drove for 9 hours and had zero issues as opposed to the (low) standard which gets uncomfortable after 2 hours for me.

Congratulations on the new bike.
