Re: [ST] Bridgetone BT010 tires on a Sprint ST?



Hey Mike,

I am just about to change my tires and I'm happy to have your input.  I do
have a question though.

1. Have you or your friends done any suspension modifications to your forks
(i.e. Race tech, Lindeman, etc.).

I'm just curious if the results would be different with a different set up.

Thanks

Joe Zaccaria

'00 Blue ST
