    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Went out for a 100km ride today on my new Avon Roadriders. Love em so far. Had the battalax before but a little slippery in the wet. Not cool when you live on the west coast and never know when you are gonna get caught in the rain. Went with bigger back tire. $227.00 front and rear from Motorcycle super store. Ordered them Fri. afternoon was rideing on them Wed. morning!! Great price, great service!:)

What tire pressures are you running front and rear?
Click to expand...
Front is 32psi cold and rear is 34psi cold but might add some tomorrow. Never quite sure where it should be any advice appreciated. I weigh 215lbs. Bike is 510lbs
 
That's what I run my set at. I'm about 50lbs lighter though. Nice looking bike.

Remember the 10% rule? Basically you air them where they need to be and then ride until tires are warmed up. I usually do 50 miles and then re-check them. When you have the right pressure in them, the result will be an increase in psi by 10%. Your 32 front should be around 35 warm and your 34 rear should be 37-37.5 psi.
 
What sizes did you get? Hope you didn't go larger than 120 in back.

Yep really happy with the look and more importantly tthey handle great. No more battalax for me. After slipping in the rain on some tar strips, I was not a fan. By the way those tar strips they put down to "fix" the roads should not be allowed! Boy they get slick.:(
 
yeah, the painted lines are too. found that out on a longboard though, not the bike. :)
 
Tires look great....

but your gonna get a ticket....
