Update: Holy hell, new tires make a huge difference. It isn't subtle, it's life changing.
Just got back from a long ride in the mountains after the mandatory slick-be-gone donuts.
It was amazing. Like I had a new bike, really. The thing handles so much better now.
Less vibration and much lighter leans... just a slight shift had me diving into turns.
The old stock Dunlop tires had ~9000 miles on 'em... and about ~5000 when I bought 'the bike.
I'd never experienced the bliss of new rubber. That fatter rear tire is sexy, too.
I'm getting kinda hard over here.
Whew.
