It is positive RuSTynutz. Loving the bike!
While I still had the old front tyre I thought I'd take a photo from the same angle showing the steeper sides on the road smart. The Michelin is definitely flatter in profile. This would account for the dropping in quickly on the road smart. Definitely turns quicker now.
Also changed the final drive oil and am planning out my driving light install.
Hopefully will get away for a few days on the bike to Albury over Easter. My lovely wife takes the car, camper, kids and dogs and I get to ride. Yes, I am punching above my weight
