Re: new tyres
To be honest I can't remember. I got the front when I had a bunch of other stuff done at City Yamaha in Brisbane. I'll check what they put on the front when I go out for lunch.
Edit: Just had a look 120/60 on the front and currently running a square 160/60 Battalax on the rear.

I liked the 2ct on my Duke, as I said, and I don't really like anything other than Metzeler/Pirelli products. And the Duke is capable of giving its front boot a right caning, believe me.
I don't know about more grip than Diablos - I never really exceed Diablogrip (TM), except when I had my '954, which would liquefy the rear Diablos on warm tarmac and required a Diablo corsa.
I used the 2ct on the front of the Duke with a Pilot Sport on the back - it seemed to work very well if you want something cheaper or harder on the back. Only problem was taking it out at Rockingham with the label still on the Pilot Sport. Sidewaysness ensued.
