I own the F800GS but have ridden the 990. For me at 5'6" the 990 carries it's weight too high for my comfort off road. It didn't bother me a bit on the street. As far as the power goes I liked the...

Not sure how they're gonna work out, but for $55 each from Motorcycle Superstore I decided to give the Michelin T63's a try. The rear is a 130/80/17.

Anybody have feedback on these?

Most of the big bikes don't have a rim lock and I don't know that I'd go as low as 15 psi on a 450+ pound bike especially if the tires are TKC's. The sidewalls are super soft.
