Congrats. I don't think you will be disappointed. They have great traction
in all types of weather including snow!

I'm runnin my 370's at 53 psi rear & 48 psi front. I also had high pressure
stems put on in case I want to run the pressure up to max which is 65 psi.I
can't really tell ya if the ride is too stiff or not because my rear shocks
are toast. I have a set of KYB's to put on but haven't done so. I put KYB's
on the front and I'm not impressed. I put KYB's on my 85 GL and they have
been great! However, I'm re-thinking this on my 82 Westy.
