Well I bought some new tires Metzeler M5 sportec. These are the same tires that come standard on the BMW RR1000s so they gotta be good right? with purchase of my awesome rear stand and using some nice rear spools that i also bought the rear coming off was easy. But the front... Fuck that! though i don't have a picture of my rig, but i ended up successfully using a car jack and a piece of 2x4 lumber that i placed under the bike between the frame and the bottom triple tree as a jacking point, then rested the forks on some jack stands that i bought with some rubber covers. It worked is all im going to say... but what a pain
Also picked up a new GOLD 525 chain with a clip-in master-link, I think i cut it a little short but it works with a clip in as you can remove the chain in order to remove the back tire if i ever need to remove it for any reason. The master-link clip is secured with safety wire (not shown). But i think it looks good with the gold and am curious how much stretch i will get on this chain, the rear tire is sitting at about the 3rd notch from the front.
