Slothy I was talking to one of the guys at metalsport the other day and he was asking me what i had for miles on my 26 i said about 1500 he was amazed that I had that many I said to him I know a guy that probably has 3 or 4 times that on his obviously speaking of you. He didnt believe me lol. Ya price tag is steep but doing a 30 there isnt a thing cheap about it so oh well.

i'm at 11,000 miles this year on my 26" this year, was hoping for 14k, but doesn't look like i'm gonna be able to make a fall trip this year. tire is holding up, and sounds like i'm the lucky one with out a leaky vee rubber tire.

ya, i seen some of Thomason work on the roadstar forum he did - amazing work and not priced out in space for the custom work one offs he does.

thats awesome. The first tire I got when i got my 26 that thing would drop 12 pounds a day I had to send it back the tire I have now only leaks a couple pounds. So yes you are one of the lucky ones LOL. I almost lost it when I got my bike together late one night rode it 5 miles or so next day after work I went to ride it not thinking it would lose air went around a corner and about went in the woods it had 10 pounds in it. a bit scary but its all good now.

I only got to put 1,100 miles on my 26" tire. Never dropped any pressure so I guess I'm good to go. I originally wanted a 30" but was told they come apart so I figured i would go for the 26". There are not too many 30" bikes out there, perhaps we could get Slothy one and have him test it lol. I heard Metzeler was coming out with 26" & 30" tires soon, thats good news.

My season is over, bike is leaving for Camtech Custom on Thur for phase 2. Lower air dam, alligator seat, powdercoat rear tire/pulley, diamond cut jugs & heads, motor work, new inner fairing and crazy stereo system. My buddy Cameron is going to take the bike along with several others and his display and enter it in all of the Easyrider Bagger Nation shows for me. Hopefully I can win a trophy or two. I will be sure to post some pics of the progress.

Would be cool if we could meet up, NH is nice riding and not too far away from me at all.

Hope Metz does come out with a 26 and 30. They are losing out on a expanding market.

Vrog the riding up in NH is awesome come up anytime except winter lol. Camtech does some awesome work I just like doing it all myself it means more to me and saves me a lot of money lol. I'll be down at daytona in the spring for bike week if your there we will have to go for a ride and some beers. Slothy you should just be a damn test rider with how many miles you ride. Hows your front air ride holding up? I tried calling Paul a few times never got any calls back so I ordered some from radical bagger and well its still in the box because the dude sent me the wrong dump valve and missing a few other fittings charged me for fork seals and oil and never got those so i got screwed $50 bucks. Ill never do buisness with that guy or have anything good to say. I was going to try giving paul again to see if he could build me a set up for the 30
