Another Wannabe makes the big move!

Just took the wheel and new GYTT 205-60-16 for mounting and balancing. i am so anxious to try out the new setup.  
I finally took the plunge after buying and mounting 3 new rear tires in 5000 miles! All have succumbed to punctures.  The last one had less than a thousand miles on it.  
Thank you all for your messages to the forum. It gave me the information necessary to make the move.

Just took the bike out for it's first darkside ride.  I was expecting to have to wrangle it a bit, but was very pleasantly surprised.  The bike handles great.

Thanks everyone for all the information you have posted.  It helped convince me.

Glad you like it I have had mine on for 2 years now and about 25k. Love it still rides great and a lot of tread left. Welcome to the darkside!

Hello All, I know the answer is in this forum somewhere, but I can't find it, ( slightly computer illiterate!). If my memory serves me... I think I saw a 150/70-18 with 2 oz. of Dyna beads was recommended for the front? Also, do I want /need a radial on the front as well? I have the Goodyear triple tread on the rear and LOVE it! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! jevers

I;m one of the Guy;s that has 2oz Dyna Beads up front on my DD 1500 GL, works great for me.
Take care,
Be safe.

Used 2 oz in my Metzeler and now in my Avon Cobra up front. Rides nice lasts as long or longer than weight balance I am a happy customer.
