Default Michelin II

Hi all,

My 140/90B-16 rear has a max of 42lbs as stated on sidewall. I'm on my third rear Commander II on the rear and I average about 12-13,000 of my 99 RKC w/ a 07 swingarm off a Street Glide. I run an 140/70-18 Avon Venom up front so can't comment on that............goldie

I'm on my first set of MC II' s so no expert by any means. So far though, mine seem to work really well at 42 rear and 40 front. YMMV.
