Damn, my secret is out! Yes, you will only get 6000 on the rear (if you are
lucky). Remember that is a FRONT tire you will be running on the rear
(against Dunlop's advise) it worked well for me, no handling problems and
good traction. I got hincky about the front tire on the rear so I got a 16
inch rear rim. now I have a wide (no pun intended) selection of real rear
tires (Harley size). Personally I think the loopframes look like crap with
whitewalls - I don't think anyone should even consider putting them on and
disgracing a fine old bike, stick to black! :)
