My friend, Skunk, rides a Shadow-1100. He rode out here to the farm ,
and we stood around and talked.
He showed me his front 'tar...and called my attention to the odd way
the 'tar is 'wearing'. It was wearing on the left shoulder, similar to
tires do on Vehicles, when the front-end is crooked.
Has any one of 'ya, ever seen such<?> Me Neither.
The Honda store tole him it was his ''drive shaft'' causing it<hmm>
Anyone ever heard of that>?<...me neither.

Common wear pattern, relax. Drive more on the wrong side of the road, and
turn the other way.

I will keep quiet and not respond on this one.

I should add, do as I suggest if the risk is worth having even wear.

Louie told you how to solve the problem before I got to. Also, tell him to
put the next tire on straight and it will wear right. It was not aligned
properly before it was tightened down. He needs to go kick someone's ass for
doing that to him.

Your friend evidently leans more into left-hand curves. Either that,
or he's been doing some "circle" riding. Have him start riding in
right-hand circles for more even wear, or learn to lean more into
right-hand curves. ;-)

==I knew that, but refrained from tellin' him... He thought it was
something to worry about...I acted like I'd never seen a 'tar do
that......he rode away....I came back in here and had a good bowel
movement.......JayT

Well it works for me...then again I wont own a cruiser ever again.
They are too damn uncomfortable for me. Something about short arms,
short legs...you know I'm just damned short.

I did not consider that fine point of the deal. Well said, well said.
