    New tires,after 10-12 years ,

    My tires only had bout 1400 miles on them,
    They still looked good.
    Benn inside basement the whole time.
    But you all SCARED me to death to get new ones.
    Got to thinking bout doing 100 on those old tires an decided to do it.
    Bought pirelli from bikebandit
    Around 60$ ea,free ship over 100$
    Read a bunch of reviews before I decided on which brand.
    I'm so pleased.
    The ride and stability is greatly improved.
    Got ride of big and littles,90 90 19 ,and 130 90 18.
    Went close to stock, 100 90 19, 120 90 18.
    Bike looks great and I'm pleased.
    As Gomer Pyle would say,
    Thank ya,thank ya thank ya.

    Your bike will thank you for the attention and will give you many happy miles in return.

    Good choice on the sizes. I think the 90 front is actually stock, but the 100 helps to correct some of the speedometer error without making the handling too heavy.
    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

      The tires that were on my '77 GS750 had tons of tread on them when I got it and would SKID when I downshifted swapped 'em out immediately.
      1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.
