The front Elite3 got 5987. It was to the wear bars. I do not have high hopes for the longevity of the Avons. No ride yet, weather is crummy. This is the 4th time I have removed and reinstalled the rear wheel. It is still a huge PITA.

I tried a Laminar Lip on the OEM, did not like the way it obscured my vision. $90 wasted. The Rifle along with the new lowers seems to work OK.

Just took a 120 mile ride, checked engine temps 3 times, ~230. I'll keep an eye on it. Need to check the plugs. Maybe locate a dyno. Also seems to have boosted MPG. Cool.
