I don't ride when it's raining out, so the stock CST tires are fine. Down the road I will replace them with something better. But...As Vivo (& others) mention, they take forever to wear-out. That's the upside to nylon-based tires.

Yeah that was my plan as well until I encountered 90 degree turn that looked like a 45 degree curve in the rain. $10,000 later in the form of deductibles from the ER and surgery and two months forced bed rest I've come to realize that for me, super long lasting tires aren't worth it. I could have bought a lot of tires with $10,000. 

any Idea if I could have done something wrong to cause this? I mean the wiring could not have been simpler, when I toggle the hi/low switch there is millisecond fast blink in the light however the intensity does not change.

I guess one stipulation is that these are 1200/2200 lumen and seem to be some of the brightest ones out there.

So I used all the info in this forum (which you guys are awesome!) and bought and installed the LED headlights recommended in the subject "headlights". They are so much brighter, and I love them. Only problem is they do not go into "bright mode" or down to "regular". They have one setting. I'm a total noob when it comes to LED's, vehicles, and anything technical so this could very well be just the nature of LED lights. However if I did something wrong, and the lights could get even more brighter in "bright" mode, then I would  like to fix it.

Does anyone have any info or suggestions?

Hey all, first time poster, long time lurker.

About 3 weeks ago I was involved in a battle of physics vs. me and the road going about 45. It appears that the road won, however I can say all the protective gear they say to wear works very well.

I slid on the road for about 10-15 feet with no road rash - thanks to a armored jacket, armored gloves, riding pants and boots.
Not a single mark on my head or face - thanks for a full face helmet

The only injury I have which still is quite bad is a broken tibia and fibula which will take about 2-3 months to fully heal.
But looking at the big picture, things could have been SO much worse.

Now my question is about the bike, it's pretty banged up with respect to the outer plastics. The engine still starts, fork seems to be unbent although the front tire needs to be replaced.

My question is do yall have a site to recommend for buying the different plastics that I will need to replace? I've found a few sites but they look a little questionable in my opinion.
