After the B6 fell over in the trailer on the way home from BOSS, I just replaced the side mirror and Zero Gravity DB windshield, now I am on to better things. Just threw on a set of Avon Avaro St's, and Galfer stainless steel brake lines. I noticed the front braking is greatly improved, maybe replacing the hydraulic fluid helped too, dunno, but the braking is a little bit better. How long will it take to break the new tires in? I guess for now I should avoid wet weather riding. Kevin

100 miles or so, Kevin. They won't be real 'treacherous' in the wet, but you've got to avoid 100% aggressive riding in any conditions for a little bit.

O.k Pete thanks. I am not really riding aggressively like roamr and the other guys, so I should be o.k. The new brake lines are nice too. Think I should reinstall the micor saeng edge? Did you like that. I had mixed feelings. I thought it worked well, but looks a little big. Any thoughts?

I thought the edging looked good. Does it seem to do anything?

Yeah, it seems to kick the air up higher. Maybe I will put it back on. Going to RI this weekend.....should be fun. My main concern was the weather, what if I hit rain with the new tires? I guess as long as I take it easy I should be o.k. then. If I dump it, I am calling you for a ride Pete! Thanks, Kevin
