I prefer a regular race tire, qualifying tires are super soft and don't last more than a few laps.
Good one Doug!

I'm buying a set of RS 3's for my 1300. I can't see any reason they wouldn't be excellent on an 1100 as well.
I bought a set last year, RS 3's Got a $75 rebate Had them mounted, compliments of GREEN-ZR 
Skuffed them in on the way home,
On The ride from Bloomington IN. to Beanblossom which is Awesome, HWY 45 https://goo.gl/maps/YayMjjruwFv
My previous set of RS 2's had 8K with no issues. IMO worth a look

I bought a set today from Bike Bandit. Total price after rebate was $233.21 shipped. That's a hell of a deal on the RS 3 which is an excellent dual compound tire.

That does look like a sweet ride!
So you're able to apply the rebate now, or are you saying what the cost will end up being? Plus, any idea of comparison between these and the BT31GT? |

That cost is after rebate. You pay full cost, apply for the rebate, and Dunlop sends you a $40 prepaid debit card.
I can't give you any feedback on comparison since I have never run either tire before. My research suggests the Dunlop's perform better then the PS4's (especially as they wear down) at substantially lower prices. The Bridgestone's were never a consideration for me. Mainly because I couldn't find the GT version in our front tire size. I was going to go with the Shinko Verge but their tread pattern wasn't to my liking and the Dunlop's are only about $20 more after rebate.
That's a deal that's hard to pass up.
Had mine mounted with Dyna beads & so far they seem to perform just fine.

That's good to hear. I'll be doing the exact same thing.
