    So I picked up a Cycle Hill tire changing machine so I can do my own tire changes, hopefully it should save me a few $'s. So with that, now that I can change my own tires, I'm planning on possibly trying something a little different. Has anyone tried a Michelin Pilot Power 3 front in combination with a PR2/PR3 rear? Similar to what some were doing with the PP2Ct and PR2 (f/r) combo.

    Just so you don't think I'm making this up...

    You know you're welcome to come by any time, just bring the :drink:
    The rim is just scratched up a bit. This is the one off of the '01, which as you know has been replaced by the 8 spoke! The tire change kit also came with a tire balance unit. Although I need to order a larger cone for the VFR rear wheel, as the back side of the rim has too large of a hole for the cones that came with the unit.
