After looking around a little. I see if I use a 90/90/21 and a 150/70/18 could go with pirelli night dragons. Anyone have a opinion on these.

I love the Avon Venoms. Thats all I run on both bikes. Just keep in mind they need more air than the Dunlops. I get about the same wear as the lops and they grip waaaay better.
