I installed the rest of my frame sliders from motovation. Got the front, rear and engine ones done... and did the rim tape yesterday 
What did you do to your Street Triple today?

baby got some PR2s. nice to not have to worry about lowsiding to my death on a bald front anymore... :cool2: especially in the rain!
not sure i'm gonna dig the turn in though, it's slow(er) and will probably take alot of counter steer to throw this thing through the bendys. but hell, the last tire i had on the rear never saw the canyon so...

if you use ratchet straps to lift your motorcycle...you might be a *******.

From my experience the PR2's are great tires(burned through two sets on my BMW K1200S), but they took the longest of any tire I've ever used to "break in" before I felt comfortable on them. I've read other reports that also said the tires didn't give them much confidence until they had 400-500 miles on them.

Keep in mind...my opinion is very different from the masses...most love it no matter if the baffle is in or out. Your opinion will have to wait until you get to hear/ride it in person, don't take my word for anything! So far, it looks like everyone loves it without the baffles. I haven't ridden with them out yet.
I rode 150 miles to my trusted mechanic and good friend's home and we put street triple r front end (forks and such) on my standard. With gold calipers, Daytona master cylinder, speed triple fat bars, new tiers. The works!
Then rode 150 miles back home. Wow exceptionally better than the standard i can say this because i rode the bike back to back equal good distance.
All in all great day!

Installed a Rizoma rear brake reservoir. Will do the front brake this winter.

Excellent excellent excellent. Yeah, I feel like I'm missing out with the tuneable front suspension and all. Radial brakes are probably pretty badass too.
Yeah the breaks are amazing. But they would be straight up scary if it didn't have the better forks to compliment the breaks. The combination though even with all that extra stopping power feels like you have a lot more control of the bike then the standard setup.
Anyway if you have not done so yet on your standard street triple swap the rear shock for a daytona one at the very least. You can snag them pretty cheap used. That mod is a 100% must for any standard street triple considering the affordability and simplicity. The stock shock is straight up junk in comparison.
By the way I got the rear stock fender kit! Thanks again that was great. Havent put it on yet since i dont need it. But come a day i need to take out the rear blinkers ill need it (threads in my rear fender for the rear blinkers are cross threaded to hell and back).
What is that rear huger you have above your rear wheel? What model bike is it for? I want one to protect the rear shock. (Not really a fan of fenders for naked bike but also want to make sure rocks dont destroy my shock).
There is 5 issues? What were they what year/modek bike?Went to dealer, had 5 recall/warranty items taken care of woo
I asked the same question earlier and didn't get an answer. Does any one know the current number of recalls on the 2013? Mine was built on 1/13 and dealer only had ABS and cable guide nut recall.

It's a stock hugger from a Daytona 675. Not sure if it protects (could maybe); more so than just for looks...at least I just got it for looks.

Excellent, glad to hear it made it to you.
And the rear shock swap was one of the first things I did to my bike haha. The heavier spring rate and more adjustability is very much needed for my body mass (lol). Gave the bike a little bit more aggressive stance as well. Then of course I had to swap out for heavier fork springs as well which would be about right if someone were to buy my bike off me and use it for aggressive riding.

yeah, i gotta say you guys are probably right. and my initial concerns were unfounded.
took the wife on a ride yesterday to break em in, rode the Angeles Crest about 120mi total. we were mobbing on bigger bikes all through the canyon, and i was riding relatively sedate considering the new rubber.
i'm MUCH more impressed with them now and the turn in is now not even a thought. very happy with the PR2/2CT at this point. :curtsey:
