Pirelli Dtragon Supercorsas!!
 
Just picked up a set from a racer at work! A front and two rears. :rockwoot: I know I won't do half what they're capable of, but he's using them to place top five or win every other weekend. Plenty of wear left overall, but the middle of the rears look almost new. I'm prepared to be blown away after riding on Pilot Roads and BT020s. Very, very cool guy to talk to about bikes.

:twfix:

That is awesome. Have fun with them.

Wonder how many heat cycles they've been through. And placing that high, I imagine there aint shit left on the sides. Be careful turning. Make sure they're plenty hot!

Deff like to hear your impressions of them. And get his ass on here if he's cool to talk to about bikes!

yeah, you should really have some tire warmers before you run these to get em nice a toasty. Be careful with em.

Got them put on my spare wheels today. $24. I think the shop goofed, because the tech told me $22 each.

I'll post up pics in a bit. Got a great deal on a camera over the week. $60 for a 5 megapixel panasonic that's maybe two years old and cost $250-300 new.

Tire warmers.

I have the rotors and sprocket for these wheels, just didn't put them on yet. The tech said he can't balance them till I put them on. Their spin balancer clamps to the rotor faces. Is there any other way to do this? I know a cage balancer won't work right. He said they could just move the stock crimp-on weight around to balance- said the line the Harley dealer gave me was horse-shit.

Yeah, I figured they (fartley) were ripping me off. I'll take my shit to this place again.

Spare wheels as in track wheels? Definately some good tread on the sides still left. Pirelli's need lots of heat to perform their best.

Yep- found a deal on almost new stock wheels to use for track tires. I'm going to start looking for tire warmers, but doubt I'll need them yet.
