2up-Occasionally
Luggage-No

FTP on long hauls-35psi
RTP on long hauls-40psi

FTP in the fun stuff-35psi
RTP in the fun stuff-35 to 38psi. I like to experiment with this quite a bit. The Dunlop D220's were never the grippiest tires out there,I guess I just like a challenge. :redface:

I'll be repainting my front rim Red this winter,at which time the plan is to swap out those Dunlop D220's for a set of Dunlop Roadsmarts. I'm currently running a set of Bridgestone Battlax BT016's on my RC51 that I'm really liking. My curiosity might just get the better of me though,I might try a set of those Bridgestones on my VFR.

BTW-Big Thanks for the tip on the clay bar in your bike detailing post Hoblick. I tried it on all three of my bikes. You're right,it really brings out the shine. Gonna be putting it to good use on my Jokermobile.
