I have a rear one on the front of my dark side Valk. I like it. I liked the PR4 on my ST1300.

So Eric, you are running their Road 5 150/70 17 (instead of the OE 150/80 17)?

Please report back on mileage.

Thanks

(I found their 140/75 17 Commander II to be a great handling tire in all weather, but I can barely get to 7K on them)
