Re: nitrogen in bike tires?
or that... I'm pretty sure helium will def reduce unsprung weigh... meaning FASTER acceleration, turn in, more ability to slalom and corner ingeneral... the only problem would be finding out if your wheels or tires would corrode any faster or become weak because of whatever propeties are found in helium... who knows..
right.....the weight difference will be negligible if there even is any and the performance will be next impossible to determine.
you would have better luck reducing unsprung weight by getting aftermarket rims and finding the lightest quality tires possible

Re: nitrogen in bike tires?
i had a set of magnesium dymags on one of my old bikes, and from my experience, that was the best damn upgrade i've ever done to a motorcycle. expensive, yes, but worth every penny.
besides, i don't want anything flamable in my damn tires, lol.

i agree. hell, i have a freakin bagger at my shop right now i put full carbon fiber rims and lindall racing composite rotors on, and even that pig handles pretty decent now (for what it is).

BTW steve....I'm trying to find an xs650 out here in Cali to convert over to a chop/bob
I was reinspired after seeing probably the sickest triumph chop/bob ever when I was out in Vegas over the weekend. I tried to grab some pictures but after I ran to get my camera out of the truck the guy was taking off.
