I’ve got two questions. First. I put a Bridgestone battleaxe bt46 on the rear stock size and a pirelli angel gt 110/80/18 on the front. I’ve done 1,500 miles and Pirelli is holding up well. The Bridgestone is finished. What’s a good tire that will last long for the rear. I don’t care about grip. What tires give the longest life. After this next one I’m going to fit a mean streak rear.
Now I’ve got sonic 1.1 springs with kb brace shimmed forks and a progressive rear shock. Newly installed shock. Idk I cant feel much difference but let’s put it like this. At the track going 100 mph around a long sweeper cornering hard the bike walks outward. it did this a little before with oem shock but has gotten worse. My linkage doesn’t have play. Is it just the side bags and top mount and aerodynamic forces? I’m a light guy 140lbs. Do I need to put softer springs front and rear and have the sag set 100% properly like my Mx bike? Idk I’d appreciate any advice from some of you seasoned Connie riders. Thanks.
