Bridgestone Trailwings - Which way round?

Just bought a set of tubed Bridgestone Trailwings (TW301 and TW302) for my KTM. There doesn't appear to be any direction arrows on them, yet the tread doesn't appear symmetrical. Anyone any clue which way round they're supposed to go? Does the lack of an arrow imply they can be used any way round?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I've used these tyres for several years on my XLV750. They're great on road, and off it.
There are no direction arrows, so they can be fitted either way round.
When they're part worn, you can take them off and turn them round to even up the wear!

Thanks for that. Is your XLV750 one of the Honda V-Twins from the 80s, with shaft drive/no fairing etc.? Interesting machine. Any pics?
