First Company in... Last Company out! VRCCDS0234

Plantersville, Texas

Made the change friday. Like they say, is this thing going to fit? Yes it did. Have plenty of room between the tire and shaft housing. Did the nut job to the fender and changes the bolts out. All splines looked good and got greased up. Didn't get a chance to put many miles in this weekend but the commute will fix that. The ride is different but easy to get used to. The tire pressure says 51psi and I have 45psi for now. To me, I haven't felt any of the squirrleyness from the road what so ever that other haved mentioned. Do have some road construction around with different surfaces and the bike has no problems. Time will tell as I get moer time on it. Did use the dyna beads and added them to the front, no complaints here. The ride is plenty smooth.
The tire is a Yokohama AVID ENVigor 205/60R/16 92V http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&fromCompare1=yes&vehicleSearch=false&tireModel=AVID+ENVigor+%28H%26V%29&partnum=06VR6ENV
All I can say for now is that I love it!  cooldude
Here it is mounted up

On your tombstone there is a dash between the day you were born and the day you die. Make that dash count.

Looks good. Mine - Goodyear Triple Tread - came in before I headed out of town. Can't wait to get home and get her installed and join you all on the Dark Side. Dave

I've put a couple of thousand miles on my goodyear-triple.I like to run between 35 and 40psi.I think below 35,it behaves badly.Also I believe I've noticed that some of the characteristics experienced have diminished with the break-in of the tire.Now, to make you feel really good, put that dunlop d404 rear tire up front.
