Hi Mitch, welcome to the forum. I'm down the road from ya in Seguin. For the tires, Avon's usually carry the favor, but I recently went with the ME880's. A great tire. My front was giving me the wobble and new kicks took care of the problem. I got about 11K out of the original Lasertecs (a tire that won't get my recommendation). The MEs are a little cheaper than the Avons and I am diggin the handling. Sounds like you need rubber anyway, so I'd do that first. If you still have the wobble, look to the other details.
As the owner of an America (09) and an Ultra (03) I can tell you they both have there place. But the America is for the wild ride. Once you get her up to speed (health wise), you'll have to take it out for a spin to know why we love these bikes. Finished a Hill Country ride today, beautiful (and fast
). My 2 buddies ride 1200 Loboys. I know they had fun because I could see them smiling in my rear view (sometimes
). Enjoy.
