Isn't it sad that I can't remember what tires I even have on my bike :P

I just went out in the frezing cold on break looking at mine. 120/65 on the front & 170/60 on the rear. I thought it was a 120/60 on front. Doh!

I've heard nothing but good things about the PP's. I heard they're nice & tacky & last decent. If yours will fit mine, how much? I think they'd be a decent set for me to try the PP's.

Hows 50 plus shipping sound. I was figuring I would throw them on the priller but this set is holding up fine. I had the pilot roads on there before, they were doing ok but then I rode around for over 1k miles with only 26psi in the rear, so I wonder where that flat spot came from the roads and the powers cost about the same and I got a lot of miles out of them anyway so ifigured I would stick with the power for the extra grip for our spirited rides

Wait....these have a flat spot or did I read that wrong? About how many miles are on this set? From what I'm understanding they should fit my bike but let me doublecheck for the rear (swingarm). Find out how much shipping is. If the rear will fit, you have a deal.

No no no I had an old set of pilot roads that had the flatspot, those are long since gone and recycled. The set I have is a set of pilot powers from my track bike.

Gotcha. Like I said, let me see if they'll fit my bike & I'll take 'em.
