Welcome lonwolf55
Welcome aboard, ask all you want. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Has your leg totally healed? Good choice on the bike. Blue is the fastest color though.....
See you around....

working on leg and bike
thanks for the welcome this looks like the place i need to be. dang leg keeps me tied up in physical therapy 3 days a week an drs. in between(oh joy). just out of curiousity whats the parts list for a ct conversion . i would really prefer to have it on when i try the bike again an my back tire (dunlop) has already give me a stage 10 pucker factor the last time i rode it.also recomendations of a tire an sz appreciated. might as well include a front tire an start off on a good foundation. anybody know somebody in the nashville area that will mount the tire. i still get down in the floor pretty good but getting up is a adventure at the moment. dealership mechanics are required to wear ski mask an hold a gun on ya before they hand you the bill so i will probably shanghi one of my sons an do it myself. ya'll have a good one.

Re: Welcome lonwolf55
Can't tell from the picture what bike you have, so can't make a recomendation for a back tire. Front tire for me is Metz ME880, people also say good things about Avon, There are even a couple guys that swear by dunflop instead of swearing at them. The site is full of info to help in your choice.....
Let us know what bike you have and what type of riding you do most of the time ( highway, city, twistises, whatever)...

my bike
sorry musta been asleep when i requested info, my bike is a black 2004 honda VTX 1300c. she has 9000 miles an runs better than any bike i ever had. shes been improved with a memphis shade windshield (not crazy about the wind drag but don't miss the bugs in my teeth), she has one nice mustang seat on her that sits like a rocking chair, there has been a lot of chrome added (there when i bought the bike). exhaust an air are factory(for now). as for where i ride well i live right dead in the middle of tennessee an i prefer to ride east that means not only interstate but dirt an gravel roads an enough twistys to keep you occupied. my personal driving preferences tend to keep me on the backroads cause there is more to see. road conditions where i ride are like the weather here, if you don't like what your having at the moment wait 5 minutes it will change. i guess my riding conditions for the most part are like smokin joes. has any body else had a annoying rattle from the speedo housing (drives me nuts). thanks for the reply you erver get down this way give me a holler. by the way blue might be faster but black is darker.

Stock 1300 C rim.... Check the seating width of the tires you are looking at. 5" and below is good and easier to seat. I used the Douglas 205/65/15..Works good in all conditions.
I have heard good things about the General Grabber and the Hydredge.... Look around the site, there are quite a few choices out there.
This is where the fun starts....Its time to get well and ride...
