If memory serves me right, the BT-020 fitment for the Fazer was not the same as the 'standard' BT-020 offered for general sale. Something to do with the stiffness of the carcass. Can't recall the nomenclature but suffice to say that tyres have moved on a good way since then. Now't wrong with the original 020 (infinitely better than the MEZ4 the Fazer first came fitted with) but why would you want to fit a 10-year old design of tyre?
FWIW, I have a pair of BT-023 in the garage right now ready to fit to an FJR1300. Compared with the new PR2s awaiting fitting to my Fazer, the Bridgestones are a helluva lot stiffer in the carcass construction than the Michelins. Interesting to compare the two types side by side in this way.
