2010 Miata. First fun car since my son totaled my 1997, 12+ years ago. So much fun!

Upgraded suspension for more clearance and comfort. Great ride at this point.

My '76 XS.

'86 Honda TLR200.

By the way, I replaced my stock shocks with Progressive Suspension Series 14 shocks in standard length and they transformed the rear of the bike. I went with their #1353 spring first which was too stiff for my stock '76 (I'm 195 geared up). I bought the next lighter spring and (#1352) for...

Hi Shawn- a month on, are you still liking the tires? I assume you have the stock 1.85" x 19" front rim and 2.15" x 18" rear? I'll likely get a replacement BT45 this weekend since the front is still good, but next set will likely be the Classic Attacks if reviews are good. My rear BT45 is...

Hey Shawn- Any update on the tires? The Bridgestone BT45 rear on my 76 is nearing the wear bars. Front is still good and is just 18 months old so I'll likely get just a rear BT45 this time and replace both next time but I am curious how they're working for you.

I would start with 33 psi front and rear. I use that pressure as my default on my HawkGT with Michelin Pilot Road 3 radials, my SRX600 running BT45's, and my XS, also running BT45's.

Very interested in how the Conti Classic Attacks work for you. Wondering what year XS you have, and if you're running stock rim widths. Typically radials require a wider rim than the stock 1.85" front and 2.15" rear widths on my '76 so I'm really interested in what you think about them...

I'd like a set of rims!

When you go to the hardware store, ask them for 1/2" PVC. It's cheap- most stores sell short sections- 2'-3' sections in addition to standard 10' lengths. Alternately you can get a short length of gray PVC meant for a hose riser.

One more suggestion. Bite the bullet and get decent fork seals and OEM dust seals. I first used the mikesxs stuff, and it was terrible with a lit of "stiction". Changed to All Balls fork seals and OEM dust seals and the forks are much more responsive to smaller bumps now. Well worth the added...
