One of the nice things about a track day is having a tire mounted for just a very small fee (compared to dealers). So with the front tire now mounted I switched out the front rotors polished the existing rotor bolts (er… have buffer, will use) and mounted what will now be my commuting wheels up.
The rear came with a somewhat newish Sportech and a shot 207 on the front. The front rim wasn’t as ‘Excellent’ as advertised, by far, some of the finish is gone from an accident the squid obviously had. He was also running a single rotor up front which can lead to premature bearing failure. Good thing I had an extra front rim on hand (don’t ask). The front tire… My OEM Metz MEZ1a. How many people still running on that tire! So yes, I’m running a M1 rear and MEZ1 front.
Now with everything transferred and mounted I headed off to work. The 200/50 feels weird to say the least. It wasn’t until I got home before I figured out why. He never leaned the bike over and it’s still new and smooth. Never mind the grooves in the rear from doing burnouts (see below)
Anyway… Pictures…
My OEM MEZ1a with only a few hundred miles on it…

With attitude… This is my bike, this is my gun… This is for riding, this is for fun. :lol
I told Pres I was done taking pictures and got the ‘I’m out of here’ response.
This is how it looked on Monday at the track…
New Wheels On… (NDUS)
