I'm trying to follow all these tire threads, and its a bit challenging to keep up. To set me straight, did you replace the LaserTec T front tire with a Marathon 880?

As I mentioned in a another thread, I had Marathon 880s on my V-Star and just loved them. Handled GREAT wet and dry. I'd buy them again. They DO like their air though. Metzeler told me to run them 40F/40R unladed and 40F/42R laden. The V-Star 650 is about 40 lbs heavier than the Speedmaster.

Regarding the LasterTec T. That is supposed to be a specially designed/made tire for the Triumph. What's so special about it? Super sticky compound? Quiet? More expensive?
