Are you going to put knobbies on it for those dirt roads? I bet it'd look cool with a set.

Go hagofuku yourself.

My plan exactly, a 180 TKC80 for the back. Tires and a ECU remap and that's it for this year.
It does look cool:

I just cannot get used to looking at modern bike with no shocks on the rear axel. Yes, I know the mono-shock is located under the seat, but I still don't like the way it looks...unstable and hanging out in the air.

If you would put your head in a helmet it wouldn't be empty.

Not your grand father's or father's BMW. Looks cool to me but not my cup of tea to buy. I'll stick with the CB and current BMW.

The drop-off is suppose to be next WedBig Grin They are having trouble finding the tires though Huh. I found a pair if they can't Big Grin

Also, they won't do the ECU untill at least 1000 miles are on it??

*inserts comment about looking for the tires on the wheels*

I wonder if the 1000 mile req. is to break in the bike more gently than a flashed ECU can.
