I am doing two road trips, Americade and Sturgis, I decided to pick up a pair of Metzeler Tourance Next tires. This is the stock tires on the BMW GS. Going on the bike soon. Will post my update.

can you post a picture of the tire tags please. glad you found more options thank you!
Lookin' good.
I'd like to get my bars up a bit higher - not as high as some of you guys,
but I think I'm going to have to mess with cables/brake lines.
There doesn't seem to be much slack in the stock stuff.

Anything higher than 4-6" you will need to change the brake lines and other cables.
I was able to use stock on a 6" Riser but had to stretch the brake line, which
is not safe.
Just out from the shop with the new Metzeler ADV tires. Looks so good. Took it for a 30 mile ride and it sticks. Both tires are radials and V rated. I have not ridden it extremely on twisties and some dirt yet. I am headed to Americade this Saturday, we shall see.
Ordered these today, found them on Jake Wilson website. I have 8300 miles on the stock front that is badly cupped, and the 2nd rear Dunlop is on its last legs.

Still liking the saddlemen? Any long rides on it? My worry is that they are narrow seats, I have the 12.5" mustang now, have had a few of the 14.5" wide versions. How would you rate it's comfort? I like the mustang, it's comfortable but the cafe style seats have the best look. Oh just noticed the front pegs/engine guard, what can you tell us about that? Thanks
