So,

Ill be honest and say that I wasnt exactly happy with the Conti Road Attack Cs..Over the past 1000 miles, the rear has been great, but the front, well not so much. Its has a kind of vauge feeling to it, and it twitched after the first 100 miles. Now these same tires on my FZ1 felt great, but not so much on the FJR. And before anyone askes, yes I had the air pressure at 39/41..So, luckly I do some part-time work at a bike shop, and the owner is nice enough to let me try what ever tires that I want, as long as there take offs, which hes get a lot of, because people seem to love to get new bikes, and one of the first things they have him do, change the rims and tires... :blink: So, im now running a Dragon Corsa 3 on the front and the Conti on the rear..This set-up feels great!!! The front end is so smooth and drops in so nicely, and not a twitch anywhere...
