If Steve says anything about the Florida weather I'm gonna scratch his chrome. After reading the other posts I'm almost ashamed to say I own an auto service shop that is 50 ft from my house. I have a waste oil furnace so heat is not an issue. I splurged last year and bought myself a nice bike lift. So far this winter I have installed an RC Components Assault chrome front wheel with a Metz 888 and a stock chrome rear wheel with a Michelin Primacy Alpin. My Vance and Hines pipes arrived Friday so I will try to install those this week. Heck I even got to ride Saturday and Sunday. Who needs Florida. Take that Steve !!
