> Hi Roy! Yes, I use the Battlax BT45 mounted backwards on the front. Currently
have 13,000+ miles on it. I think I'll get another 3,000 or so out of it. I run
40 psi in it. It could be said that I run it hard and put it away wet(details at
the end of the season/December). My last Dunlop K555 front was worn out at
10,000 miles. Ehjoy fun & safe riding! Dave "YT" Hoover

are so many choices of these tires sizes and they are cheaper than the stock
sizes. Now here is the strange part, the bike does not seem to handle any
diffrent. I also started to use Dyna Beads for ballancing and the 40 mph wobble
is gone. I have even done a track day with these odd sizes and the bike worked
great.
