I had the cupping issue with Michelins, but I haven't had that issue to the same degree with the Dunlop RS3s.
For the record, the front tire can't cup if it's not on the ground.
Took the Connie out for a spirited with my daughter Tory. Put down 300 miles. Checked the rear tire at Calcutta gas station and realized we were using all the tire available there from edge to edge. I also discovered I’m developing the cupping issue @2talltim has posted photos of multiple times. Jury is still out on the Saddlemen seat I installed. It’s a definite improvement for the passenger but I’m not sure I like it for me and if it will make mamma happy. Time will tell.
It took Tor some time to get used to not having to hold on and just lean back. Next move is to try a couple long days in the saddle to see if we can ride all the way to the Tail and back.
Saddlemen seat for sure makes more room for me and the passenger.
Pauly, I am sorry to hear about this. Wishing a speedy and complete recovery for you both. It's been too long since we last talked. The motorcycle family is amazing! If you need anything, let me know.
