I had completely worn out my rear tire last year and finally got a new Conti Zippy 1 (130/70-10). I went one size larger for the increased diameter and contact patch. I recently put an MP3 wheel on the front and it raised the front a bit so I figured that I would even it out a bit.

Also while I had the exhaust off I ordered some black fiber wrap for my pipe. It turned out rather nice even if it only covers up a foot or so of pipe.

I want to apologize in advance for the shitty iPhone pics.

These are the leftovers. If anyone wants to do this I can make a good deal on my leftover wrap. PM me if you need some.

I like the wrap idea, will try this over the weekend.
Did it change a sound a bit?
