Battleax BT45 Coming

I've had good luck with them BT45 on the Duc ST3. Has anyone tried them on the DOHC?

I've used them on the rear of my DOHC CB750 Supersport. Also used Metzler Lasertec. I use 130- 90-18 on the rear, and ride fast on bitumen back roads. Happy with the grip but averaged less than 5,500 miles each. Now using Michelin Pilot Active, over 6,000 miles so far, plenty of tread left, good grip wet or dry.

I almost went Michelin last time I reupped on rubber.
I think it was the Pilots.

But, there was a deal on the Bridgestones, saved a bit over a hundred bucks I think.
On a set, front and rear.

That was what was on there, I think Bridgestone is what Honda puts on them.

I know I agonized for a day or 2, nobody had anything in stock at the dealers that would fit,
got online cause I had to, and hell, once the visions of Motogp got out of the head, it was an easy choice.
