and i must say it is awesome!!!!!!

IT corners awesome and the smaller profile allows full wheelies in 1st gear, It is soo cool riding wheelies on the 1100e

You're quite the character dude.

Yep, I enjoyed mine but if you ride like that a lot you'll need to order them by the bakers dozen. Normal riding is hard enough on them.

I used to run the K591S on my 750ED in the 140/70 17 size with a ME33 Comp K up front. The Dunlop is a superb bias ply tire, I hear the 501(its replacement) is also just as good. The only drawback was only getting about 1500-2000 miles of hard riding out of each rear. I considered that the price of getting superb grip and worth the price. Ride On, Ed.

GT501

Oldschool, I think you'll be really pleased with the GT501's. I've got over 5000 miles on my rear tire and I've still got a lot of "meat" left.

Yeah, but do you enjoy 'full wheelies in first gear' too? :roll:

I run the GT501's on my S.
Still plenty of meat on them, and about 8K miles.
No wheelies, just corners.......

Thats good to know-I used to use the Sport compound 591 and really liked the low profile and grip of this tire. Hopefully soon I will be running radials as I just bought a 94 750 Katana complete chasis and plan on using the entire front end and rear rim to mount modern 17 inch tires. Thanks, Ed.
