    I still have my Ravens on the Mean Streak. Rode the bike to the Gulf Coast and back and no issues. They handle the curves around here well.
    I believe it is better to be seen than to be heard. Remember, they give out licenses to deaf people, but not blind people.
    Hi Viz and Lights are better than loud pipes.

    I had one on my zx9 (front). No issues as long as I was smooth in the turns. Step out once when I got a lil too aggressive. Was thinking about putting Conti's on my Meanie. Anyone tried a 120/70 on the front?

    I'm running metzler 880's. but I had a conversation with a Dist Mgr of Cycle Gear here in Cali. He said the shinko's were NOT that great until they instituted a racing program. The with competition data they keep improving to the point, he feels they are as good as any, and better than some, and really a great bargain for the cost.

    I really like the pattern on the Ravens. They were my choice until I couldnt find a 55 series rear tire.
    I wound up going with Michelins & my local shop guy price matched internet prices. Great guys @ Eastside Powersports..
