Good afternoon VFRD peoples. It has been some time since I've been active but tis the season to dust off the quip, and get ready to hit the roads. SO
After I had to buy my wife a new car, she agreed to some upgrades and repairs on the bike. I would like some input on your experience in which I value dearly. Tires, mind you, are set, so I don't need any input/thread jacking/ statistical data and such =)
Tires: Goodyear Pilot Road 3: coming from Pilot Power and sport tires only, my tire guy told me I could easily get 10K and the grip I need for the twisties.
Boots: SIDI Fusion's run $215, is there another type of SIDI that might be worth investing a little more in (they go $500+)
Suit: Sedici Separates Rapido Jacket and Pants ($650) or full suit $600 - probably go with separates because I don't always want a onesie.
Gloves: Sedici $70 - love the dexterity and protection - could use some pointers on your experience.
Hardware: I would like to replace some of the pieced together fairing bolts and trim clips etc, yet all I can find is online OEM, and the pricing runs $150 for the fairing bolts and trim clips for the upper fairing, sides, and trim clips, which seems a little steep. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks again and I look forward to posting more, which I know, you all have missed so MUCH!
