$50 at Cycle Gear, if you bring the wheels in.

Nope - Angel GT (1?). To me these are perfect for a heavier bike. Lots of silica for those damp spots, and they heat up nicely for 75% riding when its twisty out. And, yeah, not gonna go to that Kawasaki/KTM shop again for mounting. That's kind of crazy. But they got me in and out within about 4 hours, so that was good. |

Is it safe to presume that you bought the tires elsewhere and brought them and the wheels in for mounting? I didn't get nicked anywhere that badly, but I bought the tires there. |

yeah. tires from revzilla. just back from a neighborhood jaunt. so - the profile makes the bike a bit looser, tippier, and nimbler. and the brake pads - genius. they eliminate the Bandit brake flaw. now the brakes are tight tight tight. all in all a nice refresh. ready for summer - NOW. |

You may be ready for summer, but I think that Mother Nature has other plans.

If I might ask, what sort of mileage do you typically get out of the GT 2's. I ran a set of GT's on my '12 N1K, and got 5600 miles out of them. Since I typically got 7500 (+/- a couple hundred miles or so) out of Michelin's PR2's, I went back to running them on my bikes. As the PR2's have been discontinued, I'm curious about new options. |

I saw a lot of center-wear on the Angel GT's on my C14. But that bike is like 700 lbs without a rider and so that little skinny front contact patch does a LOT of work under braking. No way around that. I got about about 5k on the Pilot Power 2CT's i just took off. I'd hope to get closer to maybe 9k on the GT's because I ride pretty mildly on this bike. |

What is the consistency like? Can you put it into a spray bottle or is it thicker stuff? I switched from WindEx to off brand aerosol window cleaner so I can spray at unusual angles without having to worry about the spray hose just suck air. Still dries up a little too quickly when warm though.
