Thanks...I'm definitely thinking about that Commander 2 180/65 B16 for my next rear tire. I've been real happy with Bridgestone Excedra Max, but they are only good for about 7K. I hope your mileage is better with the MC2
You have to rotate the driving lights mounting bracket 180 degrees, to give clearance. My fairing is bolted to the same locations that the windshield is fastened too.
