There goes the retirement goal.........according to a race friend, you will feel a big difference. Hope you have the roads around your area to really enjoy. Please keep us posted.

Air can hurt you too

Hello Ron,
I don't think the tyres made that much difference the old ones were barely half worn.

I have upgraded to lighter wheels on many bikes - I think within reason it is one of the more sensible performance mods. Better handling, helps supsending duties, and I forget the estimate or equivalent weight savings to non-rotational mass, but is considerable equivalent to a significant HP boost. Really great if you can do it.
