Put some avons on my 92 Kat 1100, the rear is still a little slippy, but it is MUCH better! I guess 5+ yr old, glazed, hard, slick tires aren't much good for confidence! LOL!

Congrats - take it easy for the first couple of hundred miles and enjoy the feeling of some good rubbers!
Oh wait. . . that "word choice" thing again. . .
Anyway, congrats - ride safely! Something I do with new tires is to get a SOS pad and clean them with it immediately after they're installed. It helps to roughen up the surface just a teeny little bit and more importantly it gets the slick, oily storage preservative stuff off (that makes brand new tires feel like you're riding on ice). After that, they really don't need anything - just riding, although I'd keep away from the hard cornering for a day or two until you're sure they're all settled in.---Jeff (Long Beach Represent!)
