Hi
I'm preparing to get my 500Sei-V back on the road after it has been 'resting' for a number of years
Does any one have any recommendations on boots?
I used to run a 90/90 AM20 Road Runner on the front and a 100/90 AM21 Road Runner on the back, neither of which exist any more.
There is the AM26 Road Rider as a supposed direct option, but I have no frame of reference
My riding style is 'forceful' so good rubber is quite important to me
Any thoughts gratefully received

Hi Doctor,
The Am26's are very good all round. I personally prefer Bridgestone BT45's in 90/90x18 and 110/80x18's on my 31/2 - perfect for chamfering the stand and footrests with excellent feedback, good in the wet and last well too. I don't think you would regret either choice.

Thanks George, I've Battleax's on my TRX and they're very good wet and dry - I might give the BT45's a go!

Re: 500 Tyres
BT45s every time.
I used to be a loyal Avon customer of 30 years standing, but I had some faulty RoadRiders on a Guzzi Le Mans crack their sidewalls on me in well under a year last year, and despite living a handfull of miles from the factory, they wouldnt help, ignored 3 emails to the Tech/Customer Services department, so theyve lost a customer.
Also Ive seen people (on here maybe/ cant remember) complain about RoadRiders' wierd profile

I also used to mount the Avon Road Runner as long as they existed. Then I changed to the Road Rider AM26. They are ok but did not last as long as the Road Runner. For me the best I tried was the BT45 as well. But they also don´t last that long as the AM 20 (a pitty that thes disapeared!!!)
