Who cares about if you have dirt tires or not anyway, let them yell and complain. There is no rule that says you have to have dirt bike style tires on these, and those BT45's will last a LOT longer than any dual sport tire. I got 8000 miles out of the rear tire on my twice as heavy and 4 times more powerful Goldwing on a BT45. They will handle, brake, and ride a lot better on the road.
Get some exhaust work done and you will likely hit 70, maybe even a bit more.

Fair enough! I think the fork brace helps (though I didn't try to hit 70 before the brace).
Glad to hear it on the BT45's, these fit quite nicely (though I personally hate getting tubeless style tires onto any rims). My plan is to use them to kick around town/commute and save the knobbies for ADV trips.
Yeah, my next things to do are:
- Valve Clearances
- Clean out centrifugal oil filter
- Install bark busters
- Aftermarket Exhaust
- 115 main jet (maybe swap to Mikuni)
