Re: BT 016 PRO. Tyres!

Good tyre, even used them on a couple of track days, but as said above not many miles.
Tyre Leader have pair of Michelin pilot power 2ct's @ £154 posted these have lasted on my blade for 6000 miles and give good confidence and quick warm up. About to get them for the firestorm.

How good are the bar end mirrors?
I've got renthals and was thinking of changing to bar ends.

The chap I bought the bike from said its because he bought concave mirrors , not flat mirrors.
