You can bolt up the whole front end just fine, and I'd assume it would be alright for supersport as it is still OEM RR parts.
But that would be a good thing to check out.

Glad to hear you're doing okay...things could have been a lot worse with traffic coming in T13. Get well soon and keep your spirits up.

I wonder if you had one of the 'slide moments' we talked about with the 002s

Guess it's not like anyone's going to protest the guy who's sprawled out on the asphalt several feet from the bike at the end of the race.

You know, the thought crossed my mind but I don't know. The speed at which the back tire spun up and I got tossed would make that seem a bit of a stretch. Not impossible though I guess

Do they still delaminate or was that feature discontinued?

Oh and 190 on a 600?

How about those DOT209GP Dunlop's, 190 rear of course. More grip than I was capable of using right now. Its just amazing how far tire technology has come."

seems to me he's a guy who knows what he's talking about.
I was dissapointed when he crashed at Barber. I was really pushing for him to finish well just cause I know who he is cause of you CA guys.





and ND if it means anything to ya I bounced my Erion off the frame slider on the ground and its still in tact. Intuitive Racing Wish it bounced off the other side too instead of the case cover.

+1 on what speed said.

Pretty much all the very fast (a couple of local guys run SS European championship) 600 racers here run 190 nowadays. The 190/60 Dunlop seems to be the ticket at the moment, but I believe 190/55 DOT's from other manufacturers are used quite frequently too.

Why is that? Doesn't the 190 slow turn in? I get the bigger contact patch and all that, but I really like the flickability of my bike. And I'm really not a fan of Dunflops.

I haven't noticed any difference in turn-in vs the 180 - 55.

It's probably not that big of a deal, and if it gives you a better drive you can make that up pretty quickly. Also, you can adjust for faster turn in by lowering the front or raising the rear.

Furthermore, how much is your confidence worth in speed Mr. Highside? Racing is a head game, IMO. It's 90% confidence...or lack thereof.

j/k

I'm guessing you are "judicious" in your adjustments you'd be okay. It's all about trade offs right?

I never had a confidence problem with my bike or my abilities once I put new rubber on. My rear tire had a confidence problem with T13.

I'm not saying you did. But what about now? How are you going to feel the next time you go through T13. Also, just b/c you have x level of confidence, doesn't mean x+1 isn't better.
