Between work and the rain I finally got a chance to take a ride on my new Shinko's.I'm a believer in tire profile now! I still am amazed at how something so simple to overlook can make such a dramatic difference in handling. These tires have a narrower,sportier profile that just wants to be leaned over. I also returned to stock sizes.I am a new rider and will never be one of those guys that can get the max out of any bikes suspension,but these new tires feel great.They transformed my bike from what felt ok,to what now feels so easy to ride.My 500lb pig feels more like my 200lb dirtbikes used to feel like when you could flick them around in the woods. Until I find a better tire(and I'm sure there probably is)I am sold on these Shikno's! Love 'em!

I intentionally aimed for the tar snakes today and could barely feel them

I've been riding my new stock sized (slimmer) rear tire for over a month now and the handling is definitely better.  The bike leans a lot easier, specially on slower turns and swerves which allow me to react much quicker than with my old fatter tire.
