Tyres and mirrors.

Post by Yoda »

This could start something. Ok, have changed (mickey mouse ears )original mirrors for some Thunder Cat ones. Give more view behind and bike looks good too. Anybody else changed mirrors for a better rear view and why? Also when I bought my Exup it had Michelin macadam tyres. I binned these as soon as possible and fitted Dunlop D208's. These have done alright, except I find them abit loose in really wet conditions or on poo covered roads. Conditions not really suited to giving grip anyway. So as now looking towards new tyres in t' Spring, what do you guys recommend? Have been advised to try Pirelli corsa's. Any advice much apprieciated. Cheers.
