    It has always been on! I might probably change the rear disk ask well , I already have a ventilated disk from gold wing gl 1800 and a nissin 3 pot caliper.

    Only thing is to see is if stock swing arm will take 215 tyre , or do I need to widen it!

      Then came across this seller on Amazon , not only he has newly launched CEAT Gripp 215/60/r17 but was selling on hige discount as he was stuck with only one tyre .
      Let's see if I got a good deal or it turns out to be defective . 4000bucks for a tyre worth 11-12k is way too good.

      Wont cornering be an issue, as car tyres do not have the rounded edges?

          When it comes to motorcycles, reliability and satisfaction are not necessarily tied together, Consumer Reports says. Japanese brands have the edge when it comes to staying out of the repair shop, but an American brand has the happiest owners.

            After a longish break , back onto the motorcycle , became father of my second daughter on 13th this month.
            And almost completed first 1000km on Hot new Turbo charged Harley.


            By the time I get home this evening , she would be somewhere around 950km after Turbo. Going pretty well and strong.
            Plan to change engine oil at around 3-4k km as I am using mineral oil. Also planning an oil cooler as summer season is almost here. Naah I am not going to buy it off the shelf .

                  Why does the front tyre on your Harley look like a CEAT zoom
                  Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

                    It is CEAT zoom. And it's pretty bad .

                      Don't you need some extra protection for that sucker from water/dust/theft?

                        Most of the filters on Harley's ( aftermarket as well as HDs own heavy breathers) are exposed. So I guess water is not a problem. Dust , well it's job is to keep dust out , so what the heck!
                        Theft - it is pretty nicely secured and bolted onto Turbo inlet , unless someone wants to destroy it ,not actually steal , its not going to come off easy.
                        I m however thinking about making an engine guard , to prevent damage to Turbo / air filter if I put it down. I have completed 3 years and 30k km without worries of putting her down. But now air filter sticks out by 2 inches out of fuel tank , so engine guard is warranted .

                        Oil cooler and wide tyre are next in line for mods. Let's see when do I get some alone time with her to get these things done.

                                Naaa.. My bikes never look that awesome , they just go fast!

                                Sitting in office, missing my bike. So just reading my own thread n posting reminders, largely for myself.
