Anyone else got an opinion on the 016 vs. 021 debate? Between here and reviews on other forums I am about ready to pull the trigger on a set of 016's.:rockon:

Hmm guess we haven't gotten it in the states yet. I know CycleGear doesn't list it and I am stuck on buying from them since they are the only place that offers Roadhazard. Good looking tire though..especially the front.

I'm not the slightest ashamed of my strips as I usually have very little if any. I'll let you be the judge though. I haven't been in the mountains since winter set in(last 2k miles) so they have a little more than during the summer. What you said was kinda what I was getting at...

See that's just it I don't ride the track and really have no interest in it. I do run some wicked mountain roads in N. Ga, NW SC, E TN and SW NC on a regular basis but not sure if i would actually get the use out of the 016's since I don't ride the track.

yea please do I'd love to know what you think. I am still a few weeks out form purchasing so I have some time. yea my buddy has PP's on his hayabusa and I am totally unimpressed with them. I know it's a big bike and lots of power but I expected them to grip better than they do especially in the...

Which tire is it your speaking of? I didn't know they made an 010. Single compound or dual?:thumbup:

Personally I am more than pleased with just the -1 front adjustment. I feel no need to do the +2 rear. IMHO if your looking for that much more you just need a bigger bike. I can't imagine the highway RPM's with -1/+2 it's bad enough with just the -1.

Funny I didn't even know we had that till I read this post earlier. Was doing pretty good went from 14k to 25k then in typical gambling style..................lost it all! LMAO Guess that's why I don't gamble with real money.

When I first brought mine home I decided to just load it in the truck having been 3 or 4 years since I did any real riding I thought it best to get my legs back around the house not through the middle of a college town(Clemson, SC). About a 50 mile ride from my house.

Well it's finally about time for new tires on the FZ. I have been shopping around and reading reviews etc. I have been very pleased with my factory BT020 even if they have been nail magnets....lol....but they have stepped out on me a little up in the mountains when really pushing it. So I am...

Here's my garage/man-cave. It's where I park the bike anyway. I have another 10x20 workshop out back where all the work gets done.

My first sport bike was an 1987 Ninja 600RX very nice bike and a classic I wish I still had. First actual bike was a '91 Softail Custom and first one I ever rode was a '93 Honda Interceptor 250. I can still remember be scared to death of that little 250 having never been on one and thinking...

I agree whole heartedly. After I bought my bike I got a monster landscape spike about 2" from the side of the rear it was in the flat part of the tread and a pretty good hole/tear. Had that tire replaced. About 500 miles later I got a heavy duty wire staple in the new one. Just one hole and...

Yea they do bend around the grap handles a little at the top I found you can either lower them a little to get underneath the handles or just deal with it. It was a non-issue for me as I was mainly loading soft stuff like clothes. The tailbag does flop pretty bad when you expand it and don't...

I have the Cortechs as well and no heat issues here. Either with straps under teh exhaust or the bags up against the heat sheild. Been running for months with just my tailbag and the straps resting against the heat shield with no issues either.

Yea it does and I did think about that too but it was strapped down so tight there is little room for it to move and rub. It doesn't show any signs of it yet and I figured if it did I would either run some elec. tape over the rough edges or a piece of rubber hose to protect it. Unless your...

Thanks man yea everything is fine. The wife just had some pre-term labor issues but all is well now she is just on bedrest for the next 12 weeks until the baby comes so no travelling for us. She was actually supposed to meet me down there over the weekend to visit with family and have her baby...

For those that have been following my post in the touring section I purchased the Cortech Sport bag system for a trip from SC to Fla. I was planning this week but due to a family emergency I had to turn around about 70 miles in. Anyway I did get to pack them with weeks worth of gear and test...

Well the Saddlebags were $130, another $70 for tail bag and $40 for the tank bag. Plus a couple bills for the custom gel seat. Then of course $180 for the Pazzo levers. Seat was a wonderful addition I went 3 hours and 140 miles basically without stopping and only started to get the numb butt the...

Well folks bad news. Got almost to the Georgia line and had to turn back due to a family emergency at home all is well for now but I needed to be here and the family always comes 1st. Did get to put 140 or so miles on my new gear and equipment though so all is not lost. Trip is postponed for now...
