[QUOTE="Omega Man, post: 53895, member: 66"] UPDATE: Bridgestone S11's I'm so pleased with these Bridgestone tires I just have to rave. I've had these a while now, and the ride is far superior to the D404's. While the D404's were an improvement over the tires the bike came with, I never liked the way the rear handled or felt when making turns at intersections. The rear tire always felt like it wanted to washout...slip. This feeling is gone, the S11 rear feels solid at all times. Also, I've heard some don't like a front tire with the straight center groove. The S11 front really handles some knarly uneven pavement at intersections, stuff that used to really move me around even when the D404's were new. So yeah, I recommend the S11's, they may be a "cruiser" tire but they handle this heavy girl just fine. As for the Dynabeads? I don't know, with all the dramatically improved handling characteristics it's had to tell if they are helping, they haven't hurt that's for sure. [b][size=7]~O~[/size][/b] [/QUOTE]
