    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.

Well I'm new to tire buying (never bought a tire in my life!:shock: :oops: ) and my '82 gs650gl is in need of new tires. What brand do you recommend that actually makes a tire for this bike? It has Dunlops on it right now but I wanted to get some opinions. Thanks!
 
asking this question is like the coke vs pepsi argument...noone is right, and noone is wrong.
 
I like the Metzeler Lasertec line (used to be Metronic). Others favor the Pirelli Sport Demon as a sticky option.

Go with what you're comfortable with, it's why I run the Metzelers. :)

Hope that helps....

I liked the Pirelli Sport Demons - great grip/traction and braking in the dry and the wet. Made a *huge* improvement in the handling of the bike.
 
liked the metzlers, but the rear didn't go more than 6000 km. The michelins were too greasy in the cold and rain and the front cupped really early, so bad you could feel it. the bridgestone spitfires were actually good tires and quite cheap and long lasting....longer than the metzlers anyway. I have bridgestone batlaxx on now just new. New tires always better than the old ones. ...(thats odd that the font changed) And another thing, dont armorall your seat either
 
thanks

thanks

thanks everyone! sorry I forgot to search and see if this had been asked before, but thanks again you've all been very helpful
 
My next set will be the sport demons or the Avons. I have the Dunlop Elite II on right now, they seem to last forever!

Dan :D
 
Pirelli Sport Demon for sporty riding and Dunlop 204's for touring.
Buy the best tyres that your money can get for the style of riding you do.
Thats it.
Cheers B
