    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'll have to check that out. I would have put radials on the GS's long ago, but I havent found them to be available in applicable sizes for GS rims.

I recently saw a magazine article that explained this dilemma in great detail. I'm pretty sure it was in the latest edition of "Cycle" magazine....maybe someone else can confirm.

As you know Earl, I'm running the D205 radial in the back, and a Pirelli Sport Demon up front. Works great.

140/80ZR17, at least I'm pretty sure that's it, it may be a 70, but I don't think so.

Yes, a Continental 150/70/R17 on a stock 3.50 cast wheel. Since the Metzlers were discontinued, this was about the smallest I could find. Look at the good side, I'll not run off the tread in a turn. I know the D205's come in 140/ but with the experiences I had with Dunlop years ago, I will forever boycot them. I DON"T RECOMMEND A 150/ ON A 3.50 WHEEL. I'm just telling what is on my bike now.
