Does anyone use a tire sealant in their MC. I never have but wondered if its an option or if it screws with the balancing. Planning to put new ME 880 tire front and back on my Heritage STC in the next few weeks and just wondering.

Also anyone know who online has the best price going right now for the metzelers ME880 (130/90-16 & 140/90B-16 Wide WW. I've just started looking tonight and found a couple with free shipping. about $255 for both delivered.

Thanks in advance

Be Very careful when doing this job. Yeah, I know, it's just a dumb ass battery but the terminals on top can easily ground out on the frame above. There's very little clearance. I highly recommend taping the frame with electrical tape prior to sliding in the battery so if the terminals touch you wont weld the positve terminal to the frame and start an instant fire. This just happended to me and I cooked a new 100 dollar battery. It wuz a f-ing disaster. Luckily there was no damage to the bike except a small weld and burn spot on the frame. Was glad I had a fire extinguisher cuz trying to blow out the fire was a futile attempt and water just don't jive with electrical fires. Hope this helps someone.

I'll share some background for Ya's upgraded my stock 05 EG from 88" to 95" with SE heads, 570G gear drives and a few other little performance goodies. That went very well for about the first 6K miles. Dam near got T boned on the bike one day & in a panic like fool I locked up the rear wheel without pulling in the clutch. The next 6K miles I rode the bike every time it would reach operating temp the gear drive would sound like a concrete mixer. Not to mention the new vibration the bike had taken on at 3K on the tech, (my girl friend enjoyed that but not me!!!). Needless to say an inspection of the pinion shaft found my...
