It's all your fault! I kept reading all the posts about car tires and couldn't find a good enough reason not to try it. Tired of buying tires that last 6 to 10,000mi. I went with the Dunlop 5000, currently @ 29psi and about 140mi so far. I am ready to start raising the pressure slowly. Yes did the swing arm and drive shaft, hub went on very smooth but the drive shaft spline was a real B. The only reason I got it back together at all was the encouraging words from my wife (she told me I couldn't do it and to wait until tomorrow). Its done now and am very glad I did it, rides very smooth and holds the road very well. Thanks to all who have gone there before me and blazed the trail, I couldn't have done it without you. THANKS GUYS! :)
