Ok, I have just about 9k on my back tire. As I face the machine from the rear the right half of the tire is much more worn than the left side. Not much left as you can see from the pictures. I assume before I go to Sturgis this will need to be replaced....anyone think I can get another couple thousand out of this? I'm also assuming alignment must be off for this kind of wear?

Looks like I will be getting a car tire for this as well. Now to decide on which one........

Just a thought. As I recall, you had to have some engine work done early on. If, they pulled your engine. They may not have realigned it properly. There is a special tool for doing so. Should that be the case? Then adjusting the drive belt to compensate for improper engine alignment yet have the belt track properly, could be the cause of excesive tire wear on one side.

6,100 miles on mine and won't pass inspection, I ride it pretty easy - 50% of the time is two-up - putting on a Kumho Ecst AST next week.
