The S11 seems hard to get these days, at least over here. They were already fitted to my 1100 when I bought it and I found them good, even though I wasn't sure if they were reccomended for the Wing. I still think the 880 is the better tyre.

I put an S11 on the rear ofmy 81 standard this spring. I think it's great. It is a wider tire than what I replaced too, for the same nominal size. It replaced a Dunlop.
I now have a fully loaded 93 Aspy that I am watching for tire comments here on. The tires will need replacing at the latest next winter- in the mean time their noise is making me crazy particulary when turning. Sounds like a truck! Any GL1500 recomendations would be welcomed.

Hi Jimbo,
S-11s are excellent tires. Get one for the back. Matched sets are better, no matter what brand.
I had mega headshake problems with Metzler 880 tires. Same with 3 sets of Dunlops but not as bad. Never a problem with "Stones.
Sizes for the GL12 are no longer available, I dont know about the GL11. Check here.

I'm planning to replace my current tires with the S11 in the next few weeks. Best price I've found so far was here:

My last 2 sets of tires have spitfires and I like them. Except that the area I live in has a lot of construction going on and nails everywhere.
I am getting mine from www.americanmototire.com and there are some sizes that are no longer available. Of course they carry other tires than just Bridgestones.

I have a S11 in the front of my 1984 GL1200. I am happy with it. My rear is a Dulop.
