I haven't studded my track sence my first 03 RX 1 and I put on miles here in Maine. My 05 had 9996 miles on when I traded and as you can see from the sleds that I owned, I put on alot of miles and I have had NO problems.

I have an ice ripper and ride in NH where its icy and have loved the track. I will never stud a track due to worrying about tossing a stud through the heat exchanger.

I can understand your comments but my point is ALL my friends on other brands have had zero issues with this and we ride the same trails and hard and like I said I'm the one who usually doesn't ditchbang and go out thru the willy wacks because of my past issues this is my point I believe there is a flaw with the clearances on our apexes and the apexes are more prone to this type of damage especially it happening to me twice in three years.

MarkRTX said:N.E. Mich glad you like the comment but trust me if I had it my way I would be smoking the tire off my two Harleys and theres nothing quite like 115 hp and 113 ft lbs of tq at the rear wheel on a HD 115 mph in third gear with two more to go ain't bad either. There's no better freedom than riding a bike preferably HD in my opinion. Just saying
I agree about the freedom of riding, sorry for questioning but I can count on 3 fingers how many times I have seen a H.D. pull over 100 hp on a dyno. I have heard a ton of guys predict a big number until they got on the dyno only to get deflated pretty quick. Not saying none of them do but the only stock production bikes I have seen do it were V-Rods(they were right around 100). What exactly are you riding? Not saying I doubt you, only saying you must have a bit of money in your bike to get those numbers.

On my new 2011 Wide Glide I bumped it up to a 103 Screaming Eagle Stage 4 kit. It is a monster I have dyno sheets to prove these numbers I'll see if I can download and post I put them on my Facebook to prove to all my friends real numbers were 114.4 HP and 112.9 TQ but like most round up but let me tell this thing is a animal. My 96 80 inch Evo is done up real well too with Woods W6H cam Jims roller rockers Big Boyz performance heads and if you ever need headwork this guy is the man, and 42 Mikuni HSR that thing rips for a evo
