Hey man, I'm looking into switching to 20's. Love your setup. Would you mind informing me on exactly what you have? Tire and wheel, and possibly where you got them from? Might be a late summer purchase for me.

I looked through your gallery, couldn't find any info...

Thanks man...

 

I know he has 99-00 20" Replica's, wrapped in 295/40/20 rubber. Not sure on brand of tire though.

I've never seen him NOT get on this board for this long. He must've wrecked his truck.

 

Think he went to Norwalk but I'm not sure.

His tires are Dunlop SP9000s if I remember correctly...

 

didnt he say that the dunlops were pieces of crap...if thats the case id go with some different rubber!

 

I bought mine from a guy that price wise you can't beat.

Geive him a call at 281-748-6053. Ask for Jeff

He can get allot of stuff, cheap.

I'm VERY pleased.

 

He's out riding his bike with the newest ricer tailight mod.

Give him one month to figure out how to install one on the Lightning.

Your Lightning looks so hot.

 

Thank You VERY much.......

Now I'm just trying to get it to run like a bat out of hell.......

 

I can conferm that he is out riding, but I ride 2, i'm not sure why he hasnt been on here in a while. This site is my home page on my computer at work!
I don't know where Joe is... We were just out with our girlfriends riding last weekend. He just got his bike back and it looks great. I'll let him tell ya more about it. It looks sharp.
But he's pry busy at work or out riding...

 

Hey guys, I'm here but I'm just trying not to post as much as I used to cause I noticed that I can get allot more work done when I'm not on this board and I've come to a crucial point in my life where I'm ready to buy a house pretty soon and as you can tell I have very expensive taste. I don't know how I'm going to find anything that I'll like for under 250 grand so I need to focus more on work so I can make more money, HEHEHEHE. I'm going to be 22 in 7 days and I think thats getting to be a little to old to be at home so my next big mod is a very very big one made of wood and brick and drywall and everthing. I really want to try and find me a fix me upper since carpentry runs in my family and I'm allot better at that then mechanical stuff which I'm really good at too.

The bike is really addicting though and I hardly drive my truck that much anymore, but then again I hardly ever drove it before so thats no biggie. Its just so much fun to have so much power and still be able to handle 80 mph off ramps!!!!

Mostly I'm just really busy at work, in the last month we've bought 4 cat backhoes ranging from a 320 to a 345 in size so you can imagine that work is kinda busy and allot of fun! If you think a Lightning going 10's or a bike running 9's is fast imagine cutting a car in half with a shear in less then a minute! HAHAHAHA I LOVE DEMO WORK!

Anyway to your question. I have 295/40/20 dunlop SP9000's and I really don't like them at all. They are constantly out of balance and they ride kinda crappy for a $300.00 tire you know. I know a guy with kumho's in the same size and they are so much better and there 100 bucks cheaper to so if you want my advice, go with the kumho's and you'll be happy with them. Good Luck.

 

a pic I came across of joes bike...

Joe I can relate to ya on a few things there...
Since I got my bike, I drive the L less...
And the next mod being your own place. That's something I've been wanting to do for months now. Is save up and have enough money to put down on a house. Hopefully I'll have my own place end of this year, or begining of next. As long as I stay away from the tuners, I'll be fine. My first place pry won't be anywhere near the price of yours @ 250k. Pry only around 125-150k or so. But it will be nice. And it will be MINE! So good luck with getten your own house man. I just wanted to say hey.
Later, Shane

 

In time my brother we'll both have what we want!

 

i can't wait

 

You're not missed. Keep up the good work.
