Re: Is there a problem with Avon Storm rear's ?
That and all the issues with the Storm I on the 1100 had to do with the front tire not the rear. Some people had them replaced and the head shake went away. There were some theories that it was a cord problem on those tires but I never saw one fail. People just didn't like the feel. Though in my experience the shake is very mild and easily controlled with one hand on the bars. I lived with it because I liked the tires that much on the 1100.
I would go one step further and get the thread retitled so it refers specifically to the Storm II so it minimizes confusion. AFAIK, I don't recall seeing any threads in the past concerning failures with the original Storm rear tires. I am aware of many of the 1100 related headshake issues but I don't think thats the intent of this thread.
