Did you end up buying the TL-R then?

[Juzz976]

Bugging me that its not mine yet

Noice!

Like someone said earlier,take it easy on the corners,TLRs seem to have a habit of wanting to run wide.

Enjoy!

It's all about its set up man. I found that running Pilot Powers helped a great deal in 'quickening' its turn in plus having a tutu around with the suspension/ride height helped gratuitously

No idea whats on the rear but if a 190 when time for a new one try a 180 or 190/55.

I tried a 180 Dunlop dual compound, was real soft on the sides and balled up something terrible. It was a great tire but I ended up with more rubber in the middle than the edges.

I've now done 14,000km on it and only used up the rear and front that came with it and the 180 dunlop + a wee bit of a new dunlop front.

I've now put a harder rear(190) and new front on.

New mods to date - New fairing kit (black + silver), TRE mod, remove clutch switch bypass, new forks, integrated LED mirror indicators & powder coated some bits.

Pics please....

Reluctantly I'm posting pics, I would have preferred to wait untill I had finished this years mods.
