Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800

| Ooops! I should have updated with my experience/opinion regarding Avon's Cobra tires. I posted an original review dated 9/1/2009. As mentioned, I yet noticed wobble at 15-20mph. Went back and had dealer change rear tire. Boy, what a difference. I now have 11,000 miles on these tires and yet feel good about them. I just came off a 2,400 mile trip through the mountains including the "Tail" in N.C. where my max speed on the Tail was 59.5mph, avg 33.5mph. What can I say, the tires grip when its important, and they are smooth on the highway. When these wear out, I'll buy another set! |

| Installed in one hour. I love this rack! Sits high so I can wax my bike easily, yet it carries a low enough profile to look cool from any angle (NOTE: I do have a spoiler though). Make sure you position it on your deck so you can get your hands in to all areas when waxing. Visualize the finished product several times and practice before drilling and you'll be fine. Also, don't over-tighten. |

| Installed the Cobras at 12,400 mi on 2004 Goldwing; put 60s on rear. I drive approx 80% time at highway speed, the rest on paved twisting country roads. First, the negative - there's a small but noticeable wobble at speed between 10 and 20 mph. Don't know why. All of the recommended remedies & fixes on the Goldwing already made (NOTE: My Mechanic even rebuilds wrecked cycles for insurance companies - he knows all the tricks). Now the positives - at speeds after 20 mph, you're in for the ride of your life! I used to listen to the radio on my Dunlops, now I don't. I prefer the quiteness. I tend to run 80 mph, all the time and nearly everywhere! Passing 18-wheelers, no problem. Rain, no problem! I did change the front tire though. Called AVON, they authorized a switch. But, the second tire still has the wobble at speed under 20 mph such as the rare times I am stopping. I've so far put 4,000 mi on the set, will put 400 this weekend just for the fun of it! |
