Dang, Boxflyer!  Can you sleep at night, or are you thinking: What else can I do to make things better?  I guess your grip shields help,  but I found the fairing seemed specifically designed to sent the airflow up your sleeve.  In a total DIY move, I just cut and drilled thick plastic and screwed it to the mirror housing.  Same with the mirrors.  Ain't pretty, but they work.

Interesting to hear the suggested Tyre combination of  Roadsmart 3 Rear coupled with the Bridgestone T31GT Front. This usually brings comments of doom and a visit to A and E !!. Still, an excellent post from Boxflyer, Thanks.

Definitely with you on this one, I myself have never intentionally "mixed" tyres from different manufactures  but on a few occasions such as when a "paired" replacement has not been available I have run different brands front and rear without any nasty moments. The last time I had used such an "odd" combination on an RT was with a Dunlop Roadsmart 1 Front and a Avon Spirit ST Rear. Apologies if this is drifting off your excellent thread.

Great video! I received the set of tires you recommended and they will be going on soon.  Thanks for all your help and I love your videos

I bought a 2015 1200 rt ..  it’s now due for a set of tires box flyer it has Michelin road 4 frt and rear but the frt chopped pretty good even the back chopped .I was just wondering if the road 5 due this or not.  I’ve run Michelin tires for a long time never have I had them chop like these ones.  May be the man that own it before did t keep his air pressure right or something n that order.cause if they due I’ll be going a different route on tires.    :spam:

So Daetman, what mileage is on those tyres??

[Dartman340ta]

I’m really not sure of the mileage on the tires . The bike had 23,000 in the last month I’ve put 3000 on it .  The frt is now done.  The back still has some left

Excellent video and very informative. I will look forward to 1/6 protection overview, your next in this series.

I’ve only just recently taken possession of a new 1250rt so have found your videos a great source of information.
