    Thats why I do not deflate when going gravel, the softer the tyre, the more the happy faces on the rims!! Keep it at 2.2bar!

    Just about there. Rick's fork brace. Handlebar riser. Givi topcase. Enduro Guardian skid plate. Awaiting low profile Givi hard bags for every day use. The Trax will be for more extended touring.

    I think the crash bars make the Vee(or Wee) look a lot better. If mine hadn't come all farkled I would have bought crash stuff first to.


    You got this via Crapatalk :D

    Yea I broke two within as many weeks. Second time I changed to Buell turn signals. A lot more flexable and less likely to break in a fall or lowside.

    I'd really like to know how those tires compare to the stockers on the road. I was thinking about getting a set but don't want a whole tone more vibration or road noise. Are they relatively smooth and quiet for how much tread they have? Are they a lot noisier than the stock tires or anything similar? Do they vibrate like knobbies on the road? How's wet traction? Thanks!

    Those K60 are my first new tyres. Before that I had Conti Road Attack, it was very quiet. K60 are quiet too when I ride stright. In curves are more noisy, but it's OK. Only when I go very slowly I feel a little vibrations from front wheel.

    And wet traction? Quiet good... :p3rry
