Put Avon Venoms on my Nightster in Dec - Avon reckon they should be at 36 F 39 R (see http://www.avon-tyres.co.uk/motorbik...portster-sport) but I'm a bit doubtful - I'm only about 165lbs and the front end feels a bit detached from the road. Feels better planted 2-up so I think lower pressures may be better. I'm gonna experiment a bit with lower front, I'll let you know if it's any better.

True, but you still have to look up how often you need to change your air and change your turn signal fluids...
