It's official!
Initial impression: I like it, it's a smoother ride, can't wait to get it scuffed up some and really see how it handles!

Thanks Eric...been playing with the tire pressure. Started out with 34psi..felt a little soft in the turns. I bumped it up to 40psi last night and it feels a bit more sure footed. But, we've got rain today, so I'll have to wait a day to see for sure. (I'll ride in the rain if I'm caught in it, otherwise...)

Don't be afraid to play with the pressure. 2 lbs can make a huge dif. Also you can play with your shocks to find the perfect setting for your riding style.

Well, I've been away from the forum for a while...a little over 10k on the tire and the only thing my riding style knows is that I have a tire front & rear!
I have to THINK about "it's a car tire"... But, now...I'm getting a Goldwing (WOO-HOO!thumbup) and the Metzlers on it only have 300miles on them.

So, I will be back..

oh yea, DYNA-BEADS are FANTASTIC too!

That looks like a Nexen. Was it hard to seat?
