Don’t be scared. Get some good tyres. Like M/T street radials. Accidents usually happen when someone is running crappy street tyres or they have a heck more horsepower.

Windscreen tinted? hows that go down with the cops and insurance ?

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

Dunno lol, yet to be pulled over touch wood.

 

And insurance, I haven’t had a drama with anything, although they aren’t aware of anything.

Will Be swapping to shannons with the next lot of work.

I’m with Shannons and they seem pretty good so far, a bit pricey though being under 25 :/
