I settled on 38 PSI front and 42 PSI for the rear; no cupping/scalloping of the front tire and the bike would turn in to corners effortlessly.

I've got the new set at the same pressures

The Pirelli Night Dragon is a 90/90-21, the stock tire is an 80/90-21. The Night Dragon is 10mm wider and as it's maintaining the '90' aspect ratio it's also taller than the stock tire by about 1/2". Add to that the superior tire compound of the ND and it's perfect

The 90/90 fts the stock wheel rim and uses the same tube. I also used 7 ounces of Ride On sealant/balancer and didn't spin balance the wheel; the Ride On will take care of that, I always prefer dynamic balancing to static weights. On tubeless tires I use .25 gram air soft pellets for balancing.

I took a few more shots earlier this morning, I'll post them so you can see how the tire fits the fender. It really looks nice






That Ness Big Brake rotor is sweet, I can't wait to try it out and see if I can shorten my threshold braking distances. Gotta keep upping the game with all the crazy drivers around here. I pulled off the A/C so I could tweak my horseshoe breather, I'll have it back on hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

I'm really a fan of Pirelli tires; I ran the Diablo Rosso Corsa on my R1. The Night Dragon's are the best tires you can put on a Wide Glide if you're running stock sized wheels; with you upping YOUR game by going to dual discs and a larger wheel width you'll have more options but the Pirelli is one nice tire

Bought the bike while I was deployed and for most of the deployment I dreamed of one day being able to set it up like this, finally had the money to do it so that's why it looks the way it does.
