Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 New windshield.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 It's been a wyll since the last upgrade..I removed the klock works windscreen..didn't like it..didn't offer more wind protection than the original..they both measure the same and at night...a dark tin isn't the best..I've got another windscreen on order ...it's from freedom shields ..it's and inch and half taller with a slight tin... I'm about to leave for probably a 3000km ride second week of juin...my rear tire is showing some wear...I have a new one sitting in the basement...it's what we call the rainy season for us....it's about to turn over to 12 thousand km...just don't know if it has another ride left in it.....I have to say these metzeller cruise tec are really good tires for ride quality and all...for a cruiser....way better than the Harley brand dunlop in my opinion... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tires usually feel like shit at the end of their life, so why ruin a 3000km trip which can have plenty of rain? Change them now. Having said that, 12000km on a very heavy powerful bike like that, including motorway at higher speeds, that's very good. Of course you get that because you don't get high temperatures. Here, tarmac changes a lot from country to country and some tire brands are better than others according to country, and more so when it rains. In France and Portugal's backroads, apparently Michelin is the thing to have for grip in the rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Michelin Commander are good for heavy cruisers, I got nearly 20,000 miles out of a Commander II rear, they did lack a bit of feel in the wet but they say the Commander III is better. Depending on how the Cobra Chromes wear I may try the Michelins next time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried those before...can't remember wich one..but for sure it wasn't the commander 3...not very good in the rain..it would hydro plane like crazy in heavy rain..though I was loosing my belt when I first experienced some rain with them....but it was a smooth running tire.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
