Yeah 160 on pilot powers, which have quite a triangular profile, and with the twin surge, made tight corners…exciting.
How much of a big job is replacing seals? Whole or partial strip down?

Haha - I grew up on Dunlop KR364s which were the original triangular profile stickies. Fast steering, excellent side grip, not so stable...
It's not a huge job, it's just a pain in the arse. You can do it with the engine in frame. Flywheel side is easy, clutch side, everything has to come out. I drill a couple of woodscrews into the seals and pull them out with a little slide hammer, then push the new ones in.

Should have fitted (insert brand and model of choice) they are so much better ;)
Know people that fitted 180 tyres to standard SV/bandit rear wheels. Then seen people argue over 60/70 fronts make so much difference but in the end if you like it who cares.

Was it a 160 before? I tend to try and stick with the narrowest tyres I can get away with. Always liked a tall 180 though.
The shitter about the CR is we're peak riding season right now and I just threw bucks at it to get it desert ready. Rode it once, then a week later it went bleeeuuuuurgh. I've ordered seals, so am going to do a quick and dirty replacement. I don't think I hurt anything in the motor, fingers crossed.
