    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.

Very tough to find , I was informed that Dunlop still makes them, but I could not locate any as well. Let me know if you do.
 
I heard of people taking a white paint pen and coloring the raised letters on their blackwall tires. If you clean the rubber good, the paint should stick pretty well.
 
you can buy tire coloring crayons, white, yellow and red for sure, possibly other colors. I don't use them but they are available. Put a bag over your head and go down to the harley shop, they have them there.
 
You can still get RWL Dunlops that are the same tires they used in the '80s, but I wouldn't ride around the block on them. Very scary.

The Bridgestone Spitfires are a pretty decent, modern tire, so that would be a good choice if you must have that look:

Tires Unlimited ( http://tiresunlimited.com ) doesn't list any RWL spitfires at the moment, but they may still be available. Give them a call and see -- they actually answer their phones and all they do is tires, so they're probably your best shot.

Personally, I'd mount up a set of whatever I want (Avon RoadRider or Pirelli Sport Demon), and color in some of the lettering with a tire pen. Function trumps fashion when it comes to tires.

Ah, you sure you really want 130/17's up front and 100/19 rears on that 550L :confused: Gonna be darn hard to mount. :rolleyes:
 
Dunlop Qualifier. Dunlop elite bridgestone spitfire-21 and others very easy to find and not the same as the tyres from the 80s' radial or bias ply depending on the design of your bike.
