Heidenau K60 Scout Rear Tire A true 50/50 dual sport tire, the K60 Scout brings a proven balance of performance on- and off-road. With an improved tread and compound, the Heidenau K60 Scout dual sport tires deliver better cornering stability and wet weather grip on the pavement, while delivering off-road as well. The chevron style tread pattern is similar to full knobby designs which provides lots of open space between the tread blocks to route sand, mud and water from the contact patch while constantly keeping some rubber in contact with the road as the tire rotates. This tire is a stand-out as it does not sacrifice on-road longevity and adhesion to the pavement for off-road traction. A difficult feat for any tire to accomplish. TL Tubeless TT Tube Type Tire Please Note Tire size 150/70 -17 has a solid, center band rather than the staggered tread pattern pictured (see below). Tire size 150/70-18 has a less pronounced center tread stagger (see below). Please Note The K60 Scout tread pattern will vary depending on tire size.

Heidenau Scout 60 was mounted, balanced ,and installed on the rear of my V-Strom 1000. I have ridden about 300 miles so far and I am quite pleased with the handling, ride, noise level and traction. Only about 70 miles have been on gravel and dirt surfaces, but the dry traction is MUCH better than the Tourance, which one would expect.The tire has a very smooth transition from side to side in fast curves, due to its uniform lateral roundness. It causes some low speed vibration (20 mph) on pavement, but that is acceptable. I hope to see 10K+ miles from this tire. It will get a good workout in the Colodrado mountains & foothills & Moab.

Wolfman Explorer Lite Tank Bag Wolfman has been paying attention, riders want a tank bag that has the same curved bottom as the Rainier but not as big. Wolfman is proud to offer the Explorer Lite. This tank bag is 2 shorter than the Explorer. The Explorer Lite fits all the same bikes as the Rainier and more. Especially the KTM 950 Adventure (It nestles between the two gas caps so you do not have to remove the bag to get gas). Features All foam and Ballistic nylon construction Expandable gussett Zippered front pocket Interior zippered mesh pocket and key clip 4 point mounting system Non-slip, non-scratch bottom Reflective side accents and carry handle Dimensions Length 11 Width 8 3/4 Height Front 8 1/4, Expanded 11 1/2 Capacity Closed 13 Liters, 793 cu.in. Expands to 16 Liters, 976 cu.in. Map Pocket Size 8 3/4 wide 10 5/8 long visible 7 5/8 wide 9 long
Do you think the Explorer Lite is a good fit for a V-Strom 1000- 2012-old style metal tank.?
Tank has some back slope, but not as much as the KLR. The bar grips hit the sides of my current tank bag and I cannot use the side pockets, so I need a narrower bag.
