You know when youre off the edge of the tyre as the back end just slides out to the side and you get that horrible dropping sensation. Look at the back tyre and you can see how far yer getting over, by the wear marks. Should be a line. Mine is just a feathered edge. Dunno how I do it, but its pissin me off a bit. Run out of tyre before any indication like the pegs touching or owt.

Thought it was just the tyre shape, but its the correct tyre size for rim so not distorted, and tried pretty much every tyre make/model in the last 30,000 odd miles. :-S

I dont drive above 80 really, but the twisty roads up ere means its nowt but corners. Maybe I should back off a bit.

Fair play mate.

Yeah i go off the edge of the tyre i just dont feel it :dontknow:

You can go off the edge of a 190/50 more easily than a 180 or a 190/55 due to the radius being flatter.

You must be a nutter though dude doing that with a pillion  :shock: Bet you aint got an intercom else your ears would be bleeding [rofl]

160 on back of early ZX6R`s. Its my mile munching bike for trips with missus. She doesnt mind my driving at all. :lol:  Dont drive that fast really, but corner fast if that makes sense. :roll: Rarely go above 80 on the twisty roads up ere. Back ends raised a few inches with addition of  far stiffer ZX12R shock. Was needed for long trips 2-up with luggage which is what most of the miles on the ninja are tbh. Raised back end tho so no real feedback of when your getting near edges of tyres as hero blobs on footrests dont touch any more. :roll:

Prefer driving my Harris, but prefer that just 1-up as its so agricultural and unrefined in comparison. More of a fight, but more rider enjoyment too. Think its cos its not so easy to get the most out of. Takes more input to get same result.

Yeah F3 model. Good mile muncher n never let me down in 30,000 miles of commuting n scratching all year round. Only plays up when seriously cold or snow when the carburation gets fluffy over 60-70mph. Fightered now tho after altercation with big stag a few years ago:-

got to admit that I do like streetfightered bikes and that does look nice but I'm not going for the bullet stuff sorry pal just my opinion  :dontknow: , without those I'd like it a lot more   :icon_thumright:

Looks like you've put a lot of work into it and afterall it's your design and your pride and has a lot more thought than my 10. I had a GSXR11 Streetfighter bike a few years back and loved it  :icon_thumright:
