So how does it feel?
Having worked at a motorcycle dealership, I get all the brands at cost, and have used all the major brands. I decided to try the Shinko 009 Raven on my C-14, and the bike handles as well as when the Dunlop Roadsmarts were on it. the difference is about $100 less a set of tires. I now fitted the 005 Shinko on the rear of my Brutale, and I am taking the same corners at the same speeds as when the Dunlop Sportmax was fitted. I ride a particular mountain pass every week, know every nook and where to turn. The bike feels as good as before, and my wallet is heavier. So my opinion is for street they work well. The rear tire on my Brutale didn't even require any weights when checked on the spin balancer. There is no vibration on either bike. The rate I go through tires on my bikes the savings is substantial.
Here is a photo the Mrs took on a recent trip, looks the the Connie turns just fine:
