Tire pressure... Not to stray from the thread, but in regards to the tire pressure my concern was always what happens when you're stuntin on the street w/low pressures & you have to dip in a hurry. You lean her into a turn, and you're sagging, wobbling & probably scraping the rim. I found this out when I picked up a nail, and when I leaned into a highway entrance ramp the rear end was all over the place.

if u are gonna do 12's you need to run low pressure, it keeps the bike stable. Although low pressure does have it's down fall. My rims are all banged up on my 03 1000 from hitting pot holes and jumping curbs, but that isn't anything a hammer can't fix.

but anyways, cbo helped me out with the concept, but after i had to go home most of the rest of hte work was blood and sweat here cause nobody around to help except from stuntlife advcie and watching videos. ask a lot of specific questions. not just "how to 12" but ask something like "what idle setting" or anything specific you've had troubles learning.
about tire pressure, it varies with people. i used to run 10, now i run 18 and i love it more that way. try some and find out what you like best, i would recommend 15-20 to start. anywhere in there is still very streetable and low enough to help stability in slow stuff.
