New Windshield and Tires

[TwoBrothersBusa_imp]

Had one of these on an 03 Honda Magna a few years back. Finally back on a bike that could use it again and figured I'd give it a try.

Fitment is ok. I'll have a ride report when I get on the new rubber! I hope this rear 160/60 works out.

The 160/60 will be just fine. I love my Michelin PR3, and it looks great on the bike!

Wish they weren't discontinuing the PR3s.

I've just refitted my windshield tonight the cold is getting to me.
The tyres on my bike are Pirelli Sport Demon in the OEM size.

I have that windscreen, and after trying several height and rake adjustments have arrived at an acceptable compromise between having it too raked (just increases airflow velocity at the helmet) and too straight up (turbulence).
I like it right against the instrument pods using Velcro patches to prevent chafe and vibration / rattle.

That's a good idea....I'm doing that!

Measure up 10" from the ign switch and cut it off there. It will be perfect lol

Been a long time since I've had a bike with no spools on the rear. This is some sketchy stuff! Get the rubber swapped tomorrow and mounted tomorrow night.

 

[TwoBrothersBusa_imp]

Couldn't wait to get them mounted! Waiting on a thunderstorm to pass to go test them out.

They look good. Weird sipe pattern, but tires look good.

 

[TwoBrothersBusa_imp]

I'm with you on the sipes...I was looking for these or the Pirelli Angel GTs and these were the first up. $250 for the set was hard to pass up.
I've been on track with a friend that had these stock on 2015 BMW S1000RR. They performed well for street tires. He burned them up in a couple of days.

 

[the Ferret]

That's a great price. Seems like I pay that apiece for tires for my ST lol

Interesting... I guess the denting on the inside of the stock exhaust is like that from the factory? It seems each of the CBs I've seen from an angle that allows me to peek, has that same indentation. Thought my bike had pressed up against something or even he crate on the right side.

COCB1100, it's a factory dent.

My wife tells me my gift in life is to "Buy high and sell low"...for once I got decent price!

...Too funny

Thanks for the pics. Really like the look of the wider tyre. How did the ride go?

 

[TwoBrothersBusa_imp]

They were great. Had some wet roads along the way and never felt anything that felt sketchy. I too like the profile of the 160 on the rear much better than the stocker. Many thanks to the first here that suggested that as an option!

Got in 200+ miles today in the northwest GA area. The CB was so comfy for the trip. Sixth gear is a deep whole that lets you purr along at 3K going 65mph. What a good day!

The pure unadulterated pleasure provided by the CB.

Nice skins, "Buy high and sell low" your not alone in that department.
