Looks like Bridgstones it as to be Chad to top starfighter pilots quoting the same brand as to be about right!

Hmmmmm I could Go into a dive, do the three card trick, write my name backwards, catch a peanut in my mouth and juggle my eye-balls from one socket to the other.

[dick65 0]

sounds like a pretty nifty kite.

[Chadatious 0]

i would get the diamonds. but they dont do a 160 rear for my 600 bandit . only a 180 or 190

[dick65 0]

i did have an oversize rear on my mk1 b6 but kept the front standard as it messed with the steering

[Chadatious 0]

jordan did that.
stock is 110/70-17 150/70-17

however i went to 120/60-17 160/60-17

and never looked back

[XS1100 0]

I found that metzlers where ok to.
I don't feel fear or panic and nothing brings me down.

[Chadatious 0]

just wondering.

before i had

120/60
160/60

ive just orderd

120/70
160/60

will the odd profiles mess it up? its all they did thou?

[dick65 0]

you can give it a try did they not have a smaller front?

[Chadatious 0]

you cant they dont do a 60 profile front.

when most bikes have that odd profile, but i didnt with the michelins and loved it. dives in corners. but try it. should okay if their sold in a pair like that?

[dick65 0]

ok chad let us know how they handle, and what you getting?

[Chadatious 0]

yeh if crap i wont be happy lmao! but thats how they come plus may sort my speedo. where i went down to a 60. my speedo read a little out. red 74 when doing 70. so should sort that out to be back to only 2mph out lol.

and yeh will do and im geting the bt021's

[XS1100 0]

Chad take your time scrub um in and come back with some feedback mate cheers

[dick65 0]

good advice gaz and good call chad,youll find the 21s warm up pretty quickly

[Chadatious 0]

yeh thanx for advice guys.

[fr499y 0]

you might not notice any difference, but the biggest you should really put on a mk1 b6 is a 110, the 120 is too wide for the stock rim ( but everyone seems to cram the 120 on ) going up 1 size on the back is fine though! usually if you go up a size you go down on the profile, so a 150/70 to a 160/60 or a 110/70 to a 120/60 but you will probs be better with the 120/70 on the mk1 wheel

[Chadatious 0]

matt the 120 fits fine

plus a 110 on front

160 on rear fecks up handling big time!

when this ones a taller profile on front. worrys me abit but tis how they come

[fr499y 0]

yes they fit fine, but the 120 is pushing it when it comes to the profile of the tyre, the mk2 front wheel is 0.5" wider which is why they come with a 120 as standard and not a 110 like the mk1 you will be fine running them sizes that ya brought though

[Chadatious 0]

yeh cheers dude
