I guess I thought I was using them pretty near max most of the time, I
generally ride 2up mostly and I'm not a lightweight unfortunately. Did yours
wear out in the center or pretty evenly? I was probably not "real" hard on
them acceleration wise, I'm not a rear wheel rider even though the Bandit
list seems to value that quite highly, Mine has an extra tooth on the front
sprocket just to try to keep the wheel in contact with pavement most of the
time. Maybe the first set was just unusual, I bought them when they were
first available. In any case I'm interested in hearing about anyone's
experiences with replacements.

My dealer sent an email telling me the centerstand and replacement pipe are
in so I will send in my opinion on the pipe sometime next week.
