    what did you wrench on today??

    Not so bad, luggage rack bruised my left calf as the bike slid away. That swelled up for a week. Bike is ok, just the stator cover had a tiny hole. Brazed that shut. So lucky a good friend drove down with a trailer. took me home.

    I need to move my 1100G foot pegs back 4". Riding over dipsy doodles, I need my feet under my butt. I can visualize most of the mods except shifter is a problem. Anybody wanna share their own homie fabrications?

    Pirelli tire bead issue

    About that molding skirt edge. I think it's there to air seal the tire carcass. Probably a bad idea to grind it off. If that's the case, the damn tire bead was too small.

    Pirelli tire bead issue

    To me it looked like the tire diameter was too tight, with some molding skirt. Thought of sanding that skirt off. I scrubbed the rim with steel wool, maybe I should have sanded to a polish? meh… Will keep the tire and try it again after the Shinko is done. Not impressed with the Sport Demon...

    Pirelli tire bead issue

    My thought was I could grind away the inside edge of the tire a bit, just round it some. That would probably do it, but maybe not. However, WTF how about a better product?

    Pirelli tire bead issue

    Hey Greg, I had the psi at 100-120. I did not use soap, having learned that was bad. Street tire shops in Chi and NYC used soap, but I learned here from members soap was bad. I used liberal amounts of "Tire Mounting Lubricant" from NAPA.

    Pirelli tire bead issue

    The tire seemed ok until this week. Worked well on the roads. The bike had been sitting for a week until I rolled it out for inspection before a ride. Tire was very low and would not hold air, then I discovered the air was leaking quickly from the rim edge. Worked on seating the bead a few...

    Pirelli tire bead issue

    Ok, decided to try a Pirelli Sport Demon on my 1100G. Bummer, the bead would never sit right. Tried all the tricks, but looks like a tire fail. No tire should be so hard to mount, so decided to go back to using Shinko 712R. I'm sure I been riding with the Pirelli improperly mounted for the last...
