    Since the Ax has been installed I've run 40/41 PSI! Here's a pic of the tire! If you look closely you can see a fine line defining the hard and soft rubber!

    No "fork brace"! The front forks/springs are OEM!

    Ok, thanks.
    Was just wondering.
    There's been a lot of talk about fork braces lately.
    Just thought I'd ask.
    Didn't know if it makes any difference to the cupping or not.
    Keep up the great info.
    I will hopefully have the Axe on for the meet.

    Everyone is correct, don't know who feed you that BS Vol1 but I have personally hydroplaned at least a half dozen times on my different bikes. Side note I never fell, never drive faster than your Angel!

    Why not go to the dark side on three wheels?

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.
