I ride my C14 all over the Arkansas twisties a lot, many times per year.
I totally agree with everyone else's advice about PR4 GT's. They rock!
I had been a PR2 user for a long time before they discontinued the 190-55ZR17 rear.
That's another thing you should consider doing- go 55 rear. Read up. Lot's of opinions. For me, it's the only way to go.
I tried 4 different seats before I got my Kawasaki Gel seat. Love it. Bought it used from a member for $275. Now, no problems riding 10 hr. days.
Another cruise option... Rostra. Much cheaper than the McCruise.
The McCruise is pretty much plug and play. Rostra is a universal system.
I've got a Rostra, and mine's worked perfect for 3 1/2 years now. I put it on myself in about 10 hours.
Average time is a weekend.
Read up! Lots of info, and these bikes have a huge aftermarket. Lots of changes available to make it fit YOU.
Congrats on the new bike! You chose a real winner when you chose a C14. I love my 2011. I bought mine new in April 2012. It now has 34,000 miles, and I've had -0- problems. It's never been back to a dealer for any warranty repair or problem.
Whatever tires you choose, living in Arkansas... You better go with the best you can get. Those chip and seal twisties will totally destroy cheap tires in a weekend of hard riding!
And that gets expensive... Quick!
Again... congrats on the new bike. Above all... ride safe!
