Finally my magic trick worked!

From this....



....to this

Nice bike.
You didn't need that stuff anyway. ;)

Congrats, nice bike!

nice bike... seems like a fair price unless I'm counting wrong.


check your rear tire pressure before you ride it please :)

Thanks, I've been lurking here for awhile. All pumped up to have one even though the rear has a screw in the tire....new Distanzia's come in Wednesday!!
150/60 and 120/70

more pics to come....

What year?
Mileage?
Any mods?

Looks way clean. Nice bike. Welcome to the addiction.

2008 almost 7000 on the dot. Just picked her up today with the only mod being the protaper bars.

Everything I own is modded so I'm scowering the web for parts.

Victory!

Well 7000 miles I figure it's time for a spark plug and a sprocket kit. Already got a 14 T for the highway so I ordered a 12 T stock rear and 108 chain. We will see how I like that before stepping any deeper.

Distanzias should be on Wednesday or Thursday. Updates will come with pictures.

Going from 14t to 12t will be a noticeable difference.

One thing you need to know - your speedometer will be a mess. If you have a gps use it for speed.

The speedo isn't exactly the pillar of truth with stock gearing either.
This only matters if you bother to look at it though

Truth.


Around my parts though, so many cops you need to know what speed you're going lots of times.

I still have the stock 13 T so I'm 12T-14T for different riding conditions. Once I get a taste of the 12T I will probably want more; that is when changes to rear sprocket will start happening.

Yea I'm sure my speedo will be all screwed up, but a better responding bike outweighs the consequences.

Most riding will be around town and max speeds of 60mph for short jaunts down to school.

I will also be using it on the trails and fire roads in Upper Michigan so really don't want to ride a dog.

Thanks for the input more pictures coming soon.

Ahh much better!.....

nice tires always wondered how those corner compared to pilot powers on the twisty but im sure they are better in the dirt hard pack roads.

Well you can get two different compounds in the Distanzia line. There is a harder compound for the bigger bikes (i.e. BMWs), then there is the supermoto compound for our bikes and the like. This compound Distanzia sticks really nice @ the 26 cold psi I have them set to ( thanks to motokid).
