Just purchased 1975 gl1000. Been in garage for 5+ years. Tires dry rot and may have been on for all 10,900 miles. Any suggestions for replacement? Thanks for info.

Randakk suggest some good tires on his great website.Ive only tried the Dunlops on mine.Having inner tubes the Dunlops have a very substantial sidewall.I took on a nail last summer and lost all the air but the sidewall strength let me limp home which was 7 miles.The tire felt half full of air all the way home yet when I got it into the driveway it was fully deflated.The guy who replaced the tire for me the next day couldnt believe how tough it was to get off of the rim.The sidewall flex was minimal. Im not pushing the Dunlop.Only saying its one tire that might get you to a safe haven if you get a nail or facsimile. Flatfour

It would be dependent on the way you ride. I like the sport touring Bridgestone BT45 Battlax. I use the Bridgestone Battlax on my CBR600 work bike as well. The handling is superb but the wear maybe 20% less than a harder tire

Go to http://www.americanmototire.com and check on a set of bridgestone spitfires. They have been good to me[the tires] and the site is less expensive than dealer.

I tried the IRC tires Randakk recommends and I like them enough I put them on the CX500 as well.

As a result, product availability will be hit or miss during the transition, both at the web store and at Cyclemax. SmartLights are discontinued with the possibility of occasional small batches being made if there is interest. The transition will be gradual and I will continue to make items as I am able. Please expect extended delivery times. If you have a specific need, please let me know and I will attempt to accommodate you. I thank you all for your friendship, support and loyalty. |
