Re:HANDLING 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Theres more,i ordered the BUCKS LOWERS so hopefully the buffeting my helemet/head gets will be history.

And lastly,i have had 2 different people tell me that even new dunlop tires made their bikes unstable/squirly and when they switched to Bridgestone tires the instability went away and my bike has 2 brand new dunlops on it with only 400 miles on them.

I am going to try switching to a bridgeston just on the front to see what that does and hopw the dunlop/bridgeston mix doesnt foul it up even more.

But the rear ofthe bike doesnt seem unstable at all and i dont get any sensation it wants to kick out ,is loose,or looses traction at all if i get into it in1st & second gears hard . SAo maybe thedifferent tred design ofthe rear tie is ok and the diff tread design of the front tire is an issue.

And BTW,yes i did chk the tire pressures and they are right on the money per the manual. Think they were supposed to be approx 36psi and maybe the rear even higher in low 40's if bike is loaded with more weight along with being at higher speeds like on the interstate.
