Got it done today and I like it
I had a new front tire installed today Metz 880 with dyna beeds and the wobble went away.
I also had a Michelin 205/70/15 installed. The guy that installed it said it wouldn't fit. He did a dry run and had to push it into place. Had a little hard time getting the top of tire to go on the rim but with my help, we got it into place. Now I installed 3 oz. of dyna beeds and then filled the tire with air. Which took over 100psi to pop.
He put the tire into place also he put new gasket on the exchust manifold. Total price $80.
I asked him to try the bike first. Since he has a Goldwing and he has been think about going to a car tire. After he installed mind.
He was gone for about 15 min. and came back with a big smile. He said he didn't expect that the bike would handle that good.
I put about 80 miles on the tires today and what a big differents. It rode great, slipped into corners like never before. Came off the line better. And highway riding was alot smoother.
I never said anything bad about C/T and never said anything good. I always said that I would try it first. The tire was not cheap so it wasn't the price. $143 for the best C/T on the market.
I really don't want to hear all the BS about C/T unless you have tried one first like I just did. And I've been thinking about this for 2 1/2 years.
Here are some pictures. Sorry for the poor shoots but I used my camera phone.
