I'm on my 3rd set of Dunlop 207's and swear by them.
I use 120/70 up front and 180/55 rear and keep psi 38/42
I get about 7000 miles out of them.
After using a set of Battleaxe's I quickly found out why all the
locals here in south Florida call them Slipstones :)
Hey by the way.....I need a SA ranking ;) I do have a Corbin seat
so that must count for something right?
