If you have the bt23 GT on the rear then you need this front tire:

Yes ideally that's what I should be doing. Kind of in a bind. Just realized yesterday that I need a front tire. The sides of the tire have plenty of tread, but straight down the middle, it's pretty low. I don't see it passing tech inspection at the track? Dont wanna take that risk. IDK if I ordered a BT23 online if it would be here by Sat. Perhaps, but cutting it close. I did some online research about tire mixing. Ideally you shouldn't. But some say it's not such a big deal. And it seems like it's a little better if you stick with the same brand. So hopefully i'll be ok. Like I said I've had mismatched battlax on my 650 since 2010.

Funny I never noticed the rotor as a kickstand puck when it was on pipeburn

I love that bike, minus the exhaust. That tail is perfect.

I need to find a fucked up F tank to chop up into a seatpan/hump. I want a matching top ridge on mine.
