Helmutt

Good on you for giving them the benefit of the doubt and waiting for resolution. Hopefully they come through and pony up the claim amount, but if it falls through.....I'd sue with impunity

Welcome back to the forum

Congrats - looks like a fun little trail tosser

I still the wheel sets, stock front pegs, mirror blockoffs, windscreen, and stock kickstand. I've also found the OEM header pipe, the LH stock muffler & midpipe, and a brand new set of Militant Moto Barrier Bars ( frame slider system ) still in the box. Hit me up, I need this stuff gone

Congrats! I'm a big fan of the Sprints. Surprisingly they're very affordable for a machine that is both easy to ride all day long, and can corner pretty well

Never saw you man. Dont even recall the TexaUSA kiosk, but there was quite a bit to take in. Didn't hang around Honda's display much, but I definitely don't remember seeing anything 3 wheeled there or outside at the demo tent.

Home finally. Thanks for the hospitality Hawkins fam.....good time with good folks

On our way to your place now Jacob. See you in 10'ish minutes

Fret not.....according to Dunlop reps @ the AIM Expo the rebate is coming back next month

We plan to get there tomorrow about 730-8am to get decent parking ( not riding ). Hope to see some OR folks!

Thanks for the insight, and we may just buy new tires in general. The chinese beaters that our new bikes came with are wearing out quickly. We've churned less than 400 miles so far on them and they're already showing some age ( a little sidewall splitting and cracking ). But we both feel better just knowing we can fix a tire/chain/adjustment on site now. We stick to the paved bike path in our county, but she picked up a shard of glass a day or 2 prior then we found a few patches of broken glass again yesterday from local immatures. Our goal is strictly for cardio, conditioning, and weight loss...so a heavier tire would be fine since added resistance would enable our workouts a little more.

I loved the RS2's on my ZX14, that back tire took quite a whoopin and did so like a champ....so I'm confident the RS3's will perform well. My Angel GTs have been great on my Sprint, but it's due for new in a couple thousand and the Dunlop rebate looks appealing

As of Tuesday the wife had a flat tire......so now her and I got new tailbags, patch kits, spare tube, toolkit, and frame mount air pump. Thinking we'll upgrade to Conti Gatorskins or similar puncture resistant tires over the winter.

Thinking I'll go ahead and order a set. My Angels wont last through spring and the gap trip next year

Sharp ride. It's more K1600 looking, and Honda even adopted a new BMW'esque lever fork design.

Heat will make a difference too. If the rotor seems to have a little movement when cold, it will tighten up firm once hot from use.....so check them cold. I had an '08 ZX14 for about 7 years. The stock front rotors blued from heavy braking, but never had an issue with pulsation like your talking about....even after 24k miles and a few trackdays on sintered padsets. For starters, I'd put the bike on stands, pull the front fender for a clear view, and watch how it behaves while you spin the front wheel by hand.....maybe have a friend slowly pull the lever a few times while it's spinning too.

Hopefully it's a fast recovery. Surely your life will improve after this is done. Good luck man

Sub'd....not sure which day the wife and I can go yet. Good hostiness Jacob!

Good of you and the wife to open your home for fellow riders! Wife and I plan to go to the show, just not sure what day yet

That's what I do as well when I use my truck to haul bikes. 2 ramps, 1 for the bike and the other for me to walk up beside it.

I'd use some channel on either side of the top deck to stand those ramps up on their sides - sort of like short walls. Drill the ramps in a few places to pin them into the channels - they would help to keep debris from the trailer's tires away from the bike too. Side note - You just strap those ramps together? I would be afraid they would fold in on the tires once the weight of the bike is on 'em. If it were me, I'd hinge them together underneath so they bottom out against each other under load.
