yes Ken....you need that rear tire....and we need to know if the 200 fits 8) I'll be needing tires sometime soon....but i'm not gonna' get the kind of mileage you are. I'm at about 7500 miles now....and i'm thinking i'll be lucky to get another couple of k miles? That seat latch issue is bothersome too. Many of us have had problems with the seat latching from day one (mine still has washers under it). So this may not wind up being an isolated issue? also, one of Sherry's seats little rubber feet broke off....no doubt from the force placed on it when you try to get the seat to latch....and you have to hit the back of the seat pretty firmly forward to get it to latch. i'm thinking that force...pushing against the little rubber feet horizontally, broke the rivot right out of the seat pan. I epoxied it back....but probaby still similar issues to the seat not fitting PERFECTLY, perhaps???
But i am sorry to hear you dropped her

. Sherry dropped hers once....went right off the edge of a parking lot...into the dirt and rocks...and dropped hers. It was the second day she owned it. It was a SAD day. 3,105 dollars of damage when she dropped hers, mainly because it was off the road....and the case savers couldn't do their job as well...since the bike sank in the dirt and started scraping EVERYTHING on the left side. Anyway, we replaced all that stuff back in February...and she learned her lesson!
And JC....you got to get a bike.....before you get a seat, dude :roll:
