I had the cobra mounted on the front today, $298.99 installed.
First thing I noticed (other than the huge dent in the fender, I'll get to that story in a moment) was the "flicking" thing Duke mentioned. It certainly does feel like it's going to fall right over when you corner it at low to medium speeds. It (the front tire) really likes to turn quicker than I was used to with the Metz, wonder why it does that.
ANYWAY ... you will love the story about the dented front fender, I'm so pissed off that I can't bring myself to giggle about it yet. I took it in to the local Yamaha/Suzuki/Victory/Honda etc. etc. bike superstore to wait while they changed the front tire. I politely warned them that it wasn't a Hardley, nor was it still stock, and suggested that they be careful should they decide to test ride it after the install. I mentioned that it no longer had the power reduction in 1st gear and might "suprise" a tech with it's zip from a start. Of course they politely blew me off with the old "we ride faster bikes than yours all the time" lines, and that they wouldn't have a problem taming it. When it was finished the tech rode it out the door and onto the divided four lane road. I followed him out the door of the waiting area and listened for him to go by. She sounded good, 1st time I'd heard it from a distance since the mods were completed. I heard him stop at the light about a half block from the store and a short time later heard him jump on it pretty hard. But it only roared for a split second and then "idle". I thought to myself "scared him good I'll bet" and went in to pay the bill. When I came out to leave I looked the bike over and wiped off the standard finger prints we expect after service. Then I saw it !! ... the top of the fender was creased straight across between the forks! ****!
The guy had stood it straight up leaving the stop light and in a panic mashed the brake. It must have slammed down so hard that the leather "tool-bag" I have straped under the horn got mashed by the fender and dented it. The fork seals left a clean mark in the dust about 1" from the bottom of the tubes they were compressed so far. After going through the "are you sure it wasn't like that before?" bull****, they agreed to fix it. $317.89 for a pre-painted, ready to install replacement from Triumph .... ****it, I warned them. They just didn't listen and had no respect for a tweeked cruiser, .... well they do now!
