[QUOTE="twowheelnut, post: 54645, member: 10"] Lessee, my neighbor's cousin's friend's uncle is dead, so you're prolly right. :D I do about 50/50 slab to twisties. That's cuz I usually have to slab it to get to the twisties. I am not an aggressive rider, I prefer to call my style, 'safely quick'. I run the Wilbers front and rear and have them set on fairly firm settings - I prefer a 'tight' suspension over a cush one. Riding weight is prolly 220 - 225 with all my gear on plus I suppose about 10 lbs of crap that I typically haul around in my tank bag. Side cases are seldom on cuz all of the LA 10 broads who chase after me to find out who sewed the bag bras... Tires are maintained at 40/42 F/R cold. Heat adds about 3 - 4 lbs to those numbers. The Z4's did triangulate, but only at much higher mileage (9,000, IIR) and didn't exhibit the same tendency to flop as do the 6's. I looked at the front tonight when I got home and there is way less tread on the sides of the triangle as compared to the top, which I suppose, makes sense... Still, can't wait to Kohlerize 'em...
