As a rule you shouldn't run a front tire on the rear unless your talking about a very light and underpowered bike.

I'm running these with decent results but in hind sight I would like to go a little bigger and run the 130/80 TL or the 4.10 TT. The 120/80 just looks too small. www.motorcycle-superstore.com/11/53/802/...Sport-Rear-Tire.aspx

I did have these before but they wore out real quick being a lighter tire that should not have been on the bike in the first place. (HF308 on the page)

My next set will be these.

Holy GEEZZUUSSSSS! That Dunlop costs as much as my race tires on my R1?!?!?!?! Thats insane. At least you can get the bigger 4.25. I'll see what happens with the 2 fronts.

That's because it's a canadian site. Should be cheaper down there. I'll more than likely pick them up down south and have them shipped to my secret bunker just over the border. ;-)

So I have not been on here in months and months, but I fixed an issue that I was having. If you look back in this post, I had an issue with the shift rod moving laterally. So I found a bearing that has the same ID as the OD of the shift rod, I then had my friend with CNC mill open up the case so I could set the bearing into it. It came out really nice and works perfect. The shifting is super smooth and tight.
