Between my dad and I we have 7 motorcycles.
78 GS750 all original (cept for turn signals and a starter cover and airbox I re painted while I had access to a paint booth) with a complete Vance & Hines sidewinder exhaust dads
80 GS1100 dad got from a life long friend's father after the friend had passed away with a complete Supertrap 4-1 exhaust
82 GS1100E now with a big bore kit on it working on getting a set of carbs set up for it and a header and Kirker pipe with no baffle
83 GS850L I picked up for not much, Just gonna part this one out I think
83 GS1100E all stock and my daily for the most part and so much fun to ride with a header to a Supertrap pipe (different style than the 80 and sounds much better)
86-87 GSXR 750 (I think) parts bike old man picked up for cheap no fairings but mostly complete
07 GSXR 1300 Hayabusa ported and polished head, set of cams that have been degreed in place with adjustable cam gears, nitrous, power commander, air shifter, stutter box / launch control whatever you wanna call it, and many MANY hours of time on a dyno puts down OVER 250HP to the rear wheel and during tuning it shut down the dyno cause they had it up over 200mph. This is dads toy thing that he supposedly wasnt gonna keep.
ok well now you have some background and I can get to the topic!
On the 82 1100E we have the continental Conti GO's and they werent to terrible for traction but we found there was better, so we but the Avon Road Riders on the 83 1100E and I have been pretty happy with them and have been able to run them down nearly to the sidewall so much so that I have drug the pegs on this thing once or twice. But yet still felt like there was something better so after a couple of recommendations I was told about the Pireli Sport Demons and they are supposed to be the best apparently so I needed an excuse to order them since the Avons still looked good... Well the 80 1100E just got running and driving well but needs tires so the Avons will go on it and my Sport Demons should be here tomorrow or Friday for the 83 1100E Im exited to see how they handle and feel on the bike. with the new rubber it will also be getting a much needed fork rebuild with a set of progressive springs and 15w fork oil.
To be fair to the Conti's, I wasnt as comfortable with that bike as I am with the 83 for whatever reason (been a while since I have riden it so dont really remember honestly), the Go's look great and I think are pretty good I'm sure but I just wasnt as aggressive riding on them.
