Had them on the Fazer for a couple of weeks and now unlikely to go back to anything else.
Superb grip so far wet and dry
I know they will cost me more over a year due to limited life, but money well spent I think.
Dave ;D

They are excellent tyres - brilliant grip and do everything you want. Don't come up cheap on ebay very often though

Told you that you would like them Dave they are well suited to the Fazer, gets a tad hard to clear the chicken strips of them though. ;D

Thanks to Fiasco's Roundandblack Ebay recommendation: Pair of Diablo Sports delivered today, £156.95 all-in. Diablos are much easier to fit than BT45's . Home at 6:10pm, unwrapped the tyres, had a cup of tea & filed the invoice with my Fazer paperwork. Cut up an old plastic bottle to provide rim protectors - the rear was fitted & inflated (to the already-loose wheel) before 7:00pm. It seated/beaded so easily - pumped up using just my foot pump. Doddle. No special tools, rigs, etc - just two tyre levers.
