    Bridgestone T30 EVO GT front tire

    I put a set of the 023 back on as I had bought them at a steal of a price. My headshake has gone. I'm not sure I'll go back to Stones after this debacle. Don't get me wrong, they stuck like glue when hot and I loved them, but that headshake that developed really soured me. Especially for the...

    Automotive gps and Sena 20s

    My Garmin 660 and Sena 10U have issues paring on occasion. It usually gets so annoying that I don't bother doing it anymore. especially if I'm talking to another rider and the GPS butts in without an excuse me or anything like that.

    Posted in the other sandbox, but soon as I nail down my ETA, I'll be glad to help where needed.

    Dunlop Roadsmart 3

    Couple of folks here are running them/have ran them. @JustinNck1 just removed his set before a big ride he's taking this weekend and got about 6k on the front I believe. But those were a hard 6k and didn't really lose their shape. I'll not go back to the T30 as mine is shot with only 3k on it.

    Bridgestone T30 EVO GT front tire

    I've experienced the same exact thing. The front was a major PITA to balance when we shoehorned it on. I'm thinking that maybe I got one that was out of round, and maybe that's why my mileage was crap. But who knows. I've also considered that it may just be my riding area that destroys tires.

    Bridgestone T30 EVO GT front tire

    I like how they feel. Stick like glue. HOWEVER, monitor pressure close. Mine is shot and it has maybe 2500 miles on it.

    Best Risers? (Gen 3)

    I would say that the Helibridge or maybe the MV riser plate is the answer you're looking for. I have simple 1 1/2" blocks installed on mine. The rise is nice, but I think eventually I will be going with the plate for more movement back. One thing to consider is if you run a tank bag, that it may...

    Split: Sena Use

    I'm fighting with Sena right now for replacement of my 10U. First the handlebar remote didn't power on after charging, and then the 10U itself would only last 5 - 6 hours if I was lucky. My riding partners were easily getting 10+ constant talk time on theirs. I've updated the firmware but I find...

    Split: Totally off-topic about tires

    Unless you're referring to age from the factory? As in how long they've sat in a warehouse before you spooned them onto your bike?

    I'm a physical wreck!

    Personal of a question as this may be, but what are you wearing under your riding gear? I've found that certain types of undies cause undue pressure points in areas I would've never considered. I bought a pair of the Motoskivvies Adventure and they made a huge difference on my recent trip to...

    That's one of the worst sections of that road as well.

    The six dollar man

    Good luck! Both of mine partially replaced before age 40. Best decision I ever made. make sure that you keep ahead of the pain and give your all in physical therapy. yeah, it'll hurt and it'll suck, but the more you work it the better off you'll be!
