New BT020's

[Throttlejockey]

Bought my ST a little over 3 weeks ago with just under 5K miles. It still had the OEM Dunlops on it, but they were cupped f&r pretty bad.
I'm assuming the PO ran the pressures low because the rear was real bad.

So bad that I had road noise like a wheel bearing was bad. Even with ear plugs in I could hear it.
Knowing I had a trip to Nova Scotia planned for this Thursday I decided to get a set of BT020's installed because I knew the noise would drive me nuts for that distance.

Had a friend mount and balance them, hoping that was where the noise was coming from.
Luckily that was why I had so much noise and now it's nice and quiet. Handles much better with new skins also.

I am on my second set of 020's. I really like them. I got about 10K out of the rear and I'm at 12 K on the front and counting. I probably could have gone farther on the rear, but the wife was in the mood to let me spend a little bike money, so I ordered tires while the gett'n was good.

The 020's are the only tires that will go over 8K on our bike and to my knowledge the only tire designed for a 700lb sport tourer.
