    Flavour of The Month For GS850G?

    My wife's '82 GS850G needs a new front tire. She's not an agressive rider, so what would the flavour of the month be for a new front skin? The old one is a Bridgestone Battlax BT45, and the rear is presently a Dunlop 404.

    Cheap, durable n decent mileage

      I have never used the Dunlops but i am a fan of matching sets of rubber.
      Certainly the 404 got good reviews for that style of riding.

      Not recommending BikeBandit, just a ton of reviews.

        Buy the shinko 230's, stupidly cheap, very sticky wet or dry and you will get about 15'000 km on a front.
