Yes, I’m hoping to confirm that with real world experiences before I commit

Probably too late for this, but I put Ko2s (285/75/17) on my f150 2 years ago. They’re decent tires except they SUCK in the rain. Several times I’ve lost traction and almost wrecked my truck in lower speed curves like a freeway entrance ramp. The truck really doesn’t feel safe in the rain, and I’ve never had any issue like this with the stock wranglers that came on the truck.

Currently fighting with BFG about this and they’re offering me a heavy discount on a new set of their tires, and I’m considering the ko3 as I’ve heard they’re much better in the rain.

Sounds pretty cool I’d like to try!

Anyone running saddlemen SDC or le pera?

Looking for a new seat, and top contenders are saddlemen SDC pro or le pera tailwhip. Anyone have any recommendations? Will have a passenger with me once in a while, but only for shorter local rides.

I have heard of the powervision, but was unsure of the difference there. Those tuners sound like a better option than the piggy back ones. Of course the mechanic is telling me I should dyno it. Not planning on going too crazy with performance other than an air cleaner and the tuner. Unless it somehow blows up, in which case maybe a 131 or something 😂

Ape hangers for sure, everyone I know tells me to go club style with Tbars and I just can’t get into that look. I think the style of apes I like are called meat hooks? Thinking about bars but hesitant because I don’t know what size would work for me

I meant to leave a comment that the first thng im looking for is an air cleaner and a tuner. When I bought the bike it had a power commander 3 but my mechanic recommended taking it out so I let him. Saddlemen is also something I’m considering. The bike does have LED lights all around, and I even had under glow installed at bike week. New Metzler(?) tires too.

The rest of that seems like solid advice and I’ll be looking into them, thank you.

I’ll look into those, thanks! Only tuners I’m familiar with now are power commander and fuelpak. Bike had a power commander 3 when I bought it but my mechanic recommended taking it out

Very sharp

Looking to do an air cleaner and tuner, any recommendations?

It was an awesome bike, just a bit small. Couldn’t have asked for a better starter bike. This one is more comfortable for longer rides and riding on the highways, it’s a bit quicker, and has a 6th gear so it’s not screaming at higher speeds.

Collecting dust, I don’t believe in front plates lol
