I got 8600 out of my 2ct's with 1 trip to the dragon, 1 track day and really agressive riding. On the Dragon I ran 36 front and 40 rear (cause I forgot to let air out cause I was so excited being there) and I stuck like glue. I was really impressed, I tried Corrsa 3's and did not like them cause the...

Goodridge is my pick for the best I really like their shadow lines then Galfer second for brake lines. I perfer steel braided even though I hear kevlar is not to bad. Galfer HH pads are the best for the price, there are a few better brands but they are majorly expensive and mainly for the track. Mot...

Each tire brand runs a little different. 315 in a Nitto is smaller than a 315 Goodyear. Us Cobra guys came stock with 9in rims and a 275 tire. Most guys can squeeze a 315 Nitto on the rear, buldges just a bit but it will fit. 315 Goodyear just will not fit at all. I switched to a 10.5 in the rear an...

This is perfect for me. I am changing out my tires for the track day on the 9th, so this will give me a chance to scrub them. I will attend this one.

You can very over tight things, use the correct torque value, over tightening can actually harm things.

I have to agree, a single sided front fork would be kinda scary. But I don't mind a single sided rear, look at the MV Agusta, singled sided rear and a hell of a bike.

The number 1 problem they have found from Motorcycle accidents not involving another vehicle is under inflated tires. Something to think about next time you put in some air.

Bummer there guy. Makes me think that to get a drivers license you need to be able to take some sort of visual test proving you can see motorcycles. For future reference, any time they give you a shot of Morph make sure they give you something for the nasuea that will come along with it. When I go i...

Corbin is a good seat but their customer service lacks. Sargent makes a decent seat as well, pretty much the same quality as Corbin. I got a Sargent seat but I think for track days and serious twisties I might use the stock, Corbin and Sargent are wider and I can't hang off as well, but it is comfy.

This happened to me at the Dragon, my Brain was screaming "OMFG to fast to fast" so I braked coming into a corner, almost ran off the road and down 40 ft. So after thinking about it and beating myself over it I came to the conclusion that I just need to trust my bike and go for it. Never h...

I'm REALLY disappointed in you Engineers ... the answer to the lean when you turn the wheel is NONE of the above. It's due to the gyroscopic effect of the wheel being moved out of the plane of rotation. :-o Some of you may have been thinking that, but the words escaped you. I thought the gyroscopic...
