When am I gonna learn to read...

Ugh... least they are good pads.

I think I will be installing some Lyndall brakes soon just because I'm worth it and I don't like the feel of the current brakes. I need to get rid of these damn Dunflop tires too.

I'm pretty sure they went to Avon Venom tires. I have heard good things about them, I had them on a different bike (Goldwing) before I bought my Ultra and liked them a lot.

MLC an BP are right. I went to Avon Venom X's and they're the best handling tires I've ever ridden on! They wear out a smidge quicker than Dunflops, but the handling on grooved pavement, and especially in wet conditions, more than make up for it,

Just chiming in to say Avon Venom X's are my tire of choice too.

Cheers,
