A Canadian Ducatista, living in California, eh
a little over 8,000 miles on these Dunlop Mutants on the 1260s Multistrada ...still a thousand or so miles remaining if i want to squeeze the most out of them.

great handling, warm up exceptionally fast even on cold mornings, and better in wet than almost any other tire i've had.

figured out how to mount the rear reflector on the Multi 1260s, right under the Clearwater Lights Bille Brake LED ... so now the bike is fully DOT legal.

a simple flat 3D printed plate that mounts between the license plate and the license mount.

Still loving the Dunlop Mutant tires on my Multistrada 1260s.

Message me if you want/need a $60 discount coupon.

a few more folks are getting Clearwater Lights LEDs installed on their Multistradas ... one of them has a V4, and will be using the Denali mounting bracket solution to mount Clearwater Valkyries.

Four things I can always count on:

1. Dunlop motorcycle tires, to provide great grip and mileage

2. Brake Free helmet light, to provide safety

3. Clearwater LEDs, to make me more visible to cagers

4. not being able to find my 10mm, when I need it

Love my Dunlop Mutants on my Multistrada 1260s.

A little over 4,000 miles on them so far, 4 Sierra passes, and a few other multi day trips, with a nice ratio of twisties to straights.

these are options one can program for Clearwater Lights LEDs if using Clearwater's CANopener ...

The Multistrada 1260s now has Clearwater Lights Valkyries and Darlas ... the Valkyries have clear lenses, and the Darlas have Clearwater's Selective Yellow lenses for high visibility. All controlled with Clearwater's CANopener.

A little over 2,500 miles now on the Dunlop Mutants, with the last 1,500 miles on a 5-day trip rising the Sierra passes. These Mutants are amazing ... heat up quickly even at lower ambient temps, and they stay grippy all day long, even when hitting snowmelt runoff mid-corner at speed.

got the selective yellow lenses from Clearwater Lights earlier this week ... now these Valkyries are making cagers notice the moto/me, and get out of the way a LOT faster than without the selective yellow lenses.

Clearwater Lights are now shipping their newest LED model ... the Valkyrie.

i've been field-testing these newest LEDs for a little over two months now, and they are AMAZING.

today, I saw a dwarf climbing down a prison wall, and I thought, “That’s a little condescending”

first short ride on the Dunlop Mutants ... they heat up and get sticky just as quickly as the Roadsmart IVs.

Gus Rodio did some tire testing today for Dunlop Motorcycle Tires and ended up hitting one of these guys on the Daytona banks at 165-170mph! Kept her upright and made it out clean so he's buying some lottery tickets on the way home.

Tire change.
Off with the Dunlop Roadsmart IVs and on with the Dunlop Mutants.

I've put a little over 9,500 miles on this set of Dunlop Roadsmart IV tires, and there's probably another 1,500 miles left on them.

That said, I'll be installing Dunlop Mutants on the Multistrada 1260s in March, as I want fresh tires for the 2025 riding season.

Clearwater Lights makes solutions for all Ducatis as well.

it's not just about being able to see better when riding ... it's also about being more visible when riding.
