I've used that tire for the rear of a couple of old bikes, a 64 Trophy and a 71 BMW and I really liked the grip and handling paired with the complimenting K70 front 19". Never thought about using one for a front, though, so I dunno. They are really square compared to modern tires and that edge ridge might affect your handling some. Or not, I don't know. Maybe someone else has tried one and can tell you.
