Finally put on my new tires
#11
It's actually really stable. With just the front lifted it's really secure. When you lift the back up with the floor Jack you just have to be careful not to pull it backwards off the blocks. Once I remove the wheel and block the back up it's not going anywhere.

Ya my mileage isnt typical and I really dont know why I get such good wear out of my rear tire. I am a fairly aggressive rider but I also like to just cruise so really cant put my finger on it. I run 36 on the rear tire.

bberk great looking ride.. Was thinking of chopping my rear fender but after seeing yours think I will just remove rear tail light & number plate, looks really neat..
Could you tell me what indicators you have on your bike & also what type of wheels they are ? Cheers, Paul.

so you got 13,500 miles out of the same one dunlop screaming eagle 180/60-r17 tire? if so i am riding way to hard i am on my second se180 tire i have about 2000 on this one and it is significantly worn already and the tire before that i only got like 4000 and some change out of it. the most i have gotten out of anytire was the metzler me880 marathon 170/55-r17 and i got jsut over 7000 out of it, and when i took it off it was starting to show thread patches were the rubber had worn off completely. how do you ride? are you agressive rider with quick take offs from stops or do you gradually build speed and come to slow stops and hang out around the speed limits on the highway? i am trying to figure out why im not getting this kind of mileage?

Most every road I ride is smooth black top which I think is alot of it.
