Do you have any idea what the longevity will be with a set of slicks like that?
Well, from 3 good sources, I'm told three full track days....that is my slicks on my Busa the way I ride. I tend to think that's on the "worst case scenerio" end of the longivity scale, not because I'm fast, but because my bike is a 485 lb Hayabusa, I'm 265 lbs geared up and I know I ride really hard. Lotta power, lotta weight and balls to wall rider. I bet, for example, a 170 lb rider on a Gixxer 1000 would get 4-5 track days out of a set (with faster lap times too!). Maybe I'm a little off here but that's my best estimate. BTW, I didn't previously mention that I paid $250 for the rear and $185 for the front (friend didn't charge me for mounting). If you're really going for it, the premimum warmers are Woodcraft.....2 heat levels (135f and 180f), really quality pieces AND $350 the set! Doyle
(ps just think how much a dual big block quad turboed offshore cigarette hull would cost to sustain....our aftermarket doesn't seem that expensive based on that!)
Yep, got it from StreetnTrack, took awhile to get cause had to be made AFTER the order in Japan. It's more minimulist than OEM shape (wanted to expose the CZ wheel more).
Weight savings...less than a pound.
