Hi,
Today  my tire supplier recommends me Michelin Commander II 120/90 17 front tire to use on my custom FJ1200 project bike. The  Rear is also mounted now and it's a  Commander II 150/80 16.
Does anybody try 120/90 tire on front wheel? Do you recommend it? Cons Pros?...

It is more of a cruising tire, if you don't carve the canyons hard it should be a decent tire. 
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I decide to go with Michelin Pilot Power 3 120/70. I thing it's adequate.. :good2:
