ddoggma Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share #26 Posted October 18, 2008 These tires are a huge differance from the ones that came off "metz" Marathons. The bike feels great and I hope to get to ride it soon,while its still a little warm out. But, It's ready to go,as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted October 18, 2008 Share #27 Posted October 18, 2008 The Brickstones were so loud on my 2006 Midnight that I actually thought I was regaining some of my hearing. Man them puppy are LOUD!!!!!!!!!! Tried Dunlop 404s they seem to be alot more quite and do the job. I vote No for Brickstone ... sorry Margret. Steve aka Bubber Is that what that noise is?? Mine is bald as a babies butt now just haven't had time to swap it. Got a Kendra already mounted waiting for it. I did not like the feel of the Brickstone always felt like I was on Ice!! Didn't trust it. If I was buying it would be AVONS!! Sorrry Margret!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted October 18, 2008 Share #28 Posted October 18, 2008 Should have read all of thread before posting.... I still would go with AVONS. Best feeling tire I've rode on but haven't given Kendra good chance yet. FrogMan has a few miles on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddoggma Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share #29 Posted November 30, 2008 I went and got her inspected the other day, she passed . But the mech said "your only running on 3 cylinders" I kind of thought I was, but I didn't know how much getup and go one of these had. I also cut off a little on the ends of the wires and re-sat the caps, checked all four for spark. I also tryed to clean the fuse holders in the fuse box. It broke as soon as I touched it...lol replaced it with a new type fuse,[need to rebuild the whole unit] And she fired right up Had to readjust the idle and man she flys now. I had no idea how fast these bikes are. I ran her up to 6 grand 1st,2nd and when I got to 3rd I was doing 85mph In like 7 secs, needle was climbing at a alarming rate...lol I eased of and looked for the exit. Man what a machine. I now need to tune the carbs, I will be reading up on it, to see if I can get it close until I can have one of you carb gurus take a look at her. I think I saw a Maryland Maint day....if so I will be in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius............... OHHHHH....MARGARET...just when I went and put you on top of my "know's her stuff" list...you had to go and ruin it. NO BRICKSTONES...NO NO NO. You are right about the others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the problem with the Metzeler ? Bikers Friendships ! barry-only-n7 There have been a some Members (maybe 10 or so) which have had the Tire come apart or the Tire Thread loosing more or less big Chunks out of it. I ride them by myself, because our stupid Law more or Less forces my to. I have had no Problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
