Hehe, fair enough. Thanks.

Strongly considering ordering the specialized tool, as I hate leaving nicks/dents on stuff if I can avoid it with the right tool. May try a plumber's castle nut tool first though, seems like it's about the right idea.

I have the oscillation that Kkim had an issue with, but like my steering play where it is; not too tight, not too loose. If I go no-hands around 40mph (throttle set or decel), it'll wiggle on me a good bit, but doesn't seem to get worse than a certain point.

I think the standing theory on that is our front tires; we're both using Pirelli Sport Demons (stock sizes) and that tire has a wave design down the center. Considering swappin to something else this fall, but not sure what just yet. Really liked Spooph's Conti Go!s but they don't come in 140/70-17 only the 80-wall which I'm not so sure about. Chief alternative is the Bridgestone BT-090
