RE: New Windshield and Tires
I'm with you on the sipes...I was looking for these or the Pirelli Angel GTs and these were the first up. $250 for the set was hard to pass up.

I've been on track with a friend that had these stock on 2015 BMW S1000RR. They performed well for street tires. He burned them up in a couple of days.

That's a great price. Seems like I pay that apiece for tires for my ST lol

Interesting... I guess the denting on the inside of the stock exhaust is like that from the factory? It seems each of the CBs I've seen from an angle that allows me to peek, has that same indentation. Thought my bike had pressed up against something or even he crate on the right side.

Thanks for the pics. Really like the look of the wider tyre. How did the ride go?

They were great. Had some wet roads along the way and never felt anything that felt sketchy. I too like the profile of the 160 on the rear much better than the stocker. Many thanks to the first here that suggested that as an option!

Got in 200+ miles today in the northwest GA area. The CB was so comfy for the trip. Sixth gear is a deep whole that lets you purr along at 3K going 65mph. What a good day!

The pure unadulterated pleasure provided by the CB. Thumbs Up
