Hi
Upping those pressures and specifically the front pressures in relation to
the back I find gives much better handling balance with more grip at the
front to counteract that iron lump.
With Pirelli P6000s I find 32/28 works for road use. But I have rear
adjustable telescopic shocks - with the handling the stock lever-arm dampers
give, I'd probably go for 26/28 or 28/30. All depends what comfort you want,
how hard you drive and on what type of roads, I guess.
Regards,
Neil
