Has anyone mounted one yet? Mine came the other day and I'll be mounting it tonight.

I love my BT-45’s! Love the grip on ‘em, though the rear tends to wear out real quick. Please keep us posted on what you think.

I agree. I love my BT45s I've had two on the rear and one up front since buying my bike 6 years ago. I'll be sure to check on how long this BT46 lasts.

How is the BT46?
I’m about to change out my BT45 with a spare that I have. These rubbers don’t last long, but they give a nice grip and cushion when they’re new.
