Dart flyscreen and a little Yoshimura stain magic

Good work, but looks like the front tire needs to go very soon ??

Yea I keep looking at the front and wondering why it looks so thin.....considering its brand new with about 300 total miles!!!!

It's wearing BT54's freshly bought and mounted last month. I had read this bike was hard in fronts and had even seen where people were replacing the OE fronts before the OE rear which is unheard of to my experience.

I have not bought Bridgestones since the 1980's and didn't measure these but visually the BT54 front looks much thinner than both Michelin and Dunlop tires I've been running on my other bikes.

I love this bike but the 18 in wheels are a real limitation. Back in the bias ply 1980's I ran a 16 inch Metzeler ME33 Comp K on the front of my GS750 with a 17 inch Dunlop 591R rear....no issues running different brands on different axles....

110/80 offers more choices, I was looking at the Dunlop Roadsmart, if the BT54 starts going off before its time I may try the Dunlop up front with the 54 rear
