As mentioned about speedo variations fitting 70 series instead of 120/60 on the front.. What about gearing at the rear??? About to change sprockets shortly and tyres and opting for a 16/39 instead of std 17/41 . About to take bike off the road and utilise for track work and will opt for 70 series front and rear. May only be slight variable but be interested on feedback..
Had gone through 2 sets of pilots sport/tourers and this time pilot power sports compound and was quite happy with their performance,feel and wear but that was on the road.
So where to start from here as now I'm going to going to working the edge of the tyres a lot more. =P~
