Well the ending mileage on my SE 180 was 13,500 miles. I had about 10K on the front which wore kind of funny so I replaced it also.

Took 330 mile hard ride sunday and while the tire still handled good that day, I didnt want to ride it anymore after looking at it when I got home.

Went for a test ride today and its amazing how new tires feel. The bike is alot smoother and response alot quicker. Put new brake pads all around as well while I had it apart.

Had no intentions of running the tire that long, it has been in my garage for almost 2 months but when I had time to mess with it I rode instead.

On my cheap mans lift



Cleaned up when I got done

 

I just put a new rear tire on mine. Got about 12k miles on it. I was getting scared to ride it too at the end. Gonna go get a front one next. I pre-paid my maintenance, but I am moving to TX. It won't transfer so I am gonna have them put on everything I have coming to me. New tire, brakes, 15k mile service.

 

What tires were these exactlly?

 

The SE 180 on the rear with the matching Sreaming Eagle front.

 

Great looking bike man! I dig it.
Glad some new shoes helped the ride.

 

It's been said before, but your bike is absolutely awesome, and I don't even usually like a huge amount of chrome

ballsy lift you rigged there. How bad were you sweatingit that the bike would tip while you were pulling that rear tire?

 

Thats a lot of miles out of the SE 180... nice to hear! Heard some people say 6-8K, what air pressure did you run in the back.

 

The clean rear fender looks great. I like the way your seat flows with the lines of the bike as well. If you don't mind, who makes that seat and what model is it?

 

Thanks
