    Okay...

    I have found that if I drive on the tires and keep the bike in the more upright position, the handling is much better then say, going slideways down the road. It saves wear and tear on the bike.
    But seriosly, If you've changed the tires and looked at the brakes, you can always go with SS brakelines.

      Some have upgraded the suspension with progressive springs in the forks and progressive shocks on the rear.
