In the planning stage for a Stage II. I know I want a torque cam but can't decide between a TW 222, 555 or 777. Anyone have any experience with these?

Default LePera Bare Bones Solo Smooth Seat

I wanted a little lower look so I went with the ale Pera bare bones.
The rear of the seat kicks up a little more than I thought it would and I can feel it on my tailbone.
I still like the seat and as I have ridden it the foam has softened some or I have just gotten used to it.

Guys I'm up to a new front tire but I can not find a Metzeler in the stock size 130/60 21 , my rear is a 260 Marathon and I wanted a same pattern and brand for the front but it seems not to exist.

What tire are you guys running on the front ?

I have the same rear tire and am going with a 120/70 up front when that one wears out

I just bought a Metz 888 120/70 from Dennis Kirk. I have to get it put on this coming week. I have a Metz 260 880 on the back now.

Are the fronts bias or radial? I think I read bias, but not 100% sure

Yeah, the 120/70 21 is no problem they are plenty available but I do not want to go smaller then the stock one, I like the looks from 130. I found a company in Spain who offers
the 130/60 21 at almost $330.00 .

Are there people here who have already mounted the 120/70 and possibly have a photo of it ?

Are there any special reasons why you want to go to a 120 ?

888 is radial. Been reading up on this site that the 120/70 helps with the steering on the Breakout.

Yes, better steering is the general consensus, plus it looks like that size is more available as well
