Tire Impressions - Pirelli Sport Demons

I like mine too except i think i need a new valve stem in the rear tire. It keeps going flat just sitting in my garage.

I just installed a gsxr rim and some perelli diablos in a 150/60 and a 110/70. Unfortunetly, I will not see any riding time soon because of the weather. When I get some time on them, I will post up a review.

A side note about the GSXR wheel swap:
It apears to me, after swaping out the original rim with a 140/80 for the new rim/rubber I have about 9mm clearence from chain to tire. It seams that I could have gone with a 160. Maybe I will test that next time. I also want to add that I didn't add any spacers or washers anywhere in the setup. Like some web pages say must be done to obtain proper tire/chain clearence.

Thats all.

How much clearance do you have to the brake torque rod?  Or was that modified?
