Which ones.....Tires that is

[7981GS]

We don't get the cheap prices you guys get unfortunately.....

and that place is about the cheapest, unfortunately.

even if I order from the US, by the time I pay for shipping, duty, tax, etc....

I am at the same price as if I got them here

yes we here in the great white north, get the bend over pricing most of the time....

and I think I need a 130/90/17 for the rear....

.

Yes, get the 130/90-17 instead.
I have that size on at least 4 of my bikes.
Regardless of the misinformation about them being too large for the rim,
they work wonderfully!

Ya I don't know where that 80 came in.....glad I double checked....

stock is 120/90/17 rear and 100/90/16 front, was going to just go one up on both ends, the aspect and rim size were to stay the same....

I must be getting old....LOL

Thanks for catching my mistake...

so it will be

130/90/17 rear
and
110/90/16 front.....


I just checked on the bike what is there now, and I guess this is what threw me off

it has 120/80/17 rear and 100/90/16 front,,,,seems all those years ago, I screwed up...hahahahahaha

I did a real quick and rough comparison for all in from the two places...

petes - about 255 give or take

superstore - about 270 give or take

this is shipping, tax, duty, tire tax if applicable

it does work out cheaper from Pete's....and I called and they have stock, I just have to do the order online, as it gives me a tracking number right away.....

Using Shinko 230 Tour Masters on my 1000 instead of Metzler Lasertecs no issues thus far with about 1k on them and 145.00 cheaper too.

Last I checked Shinko doesn't do the 16" fronts these bikes need in the 100 or 110 size.Pity that cause Yeller's going to need new shoes soon.

Haven't tried the Avons,The sport demons wore very fast in the center, and weren't great in the rain.I like Bridgestone BT-o45' on my '82 750 kat.Better in wet conditions and lasted about 6000 miles.The sport demons stuck a little better though.

Well Thanks to all that responded, I do appreciate your input

I have ordered the Pirelli Sport Demons

I will at one point in time, try and do a review of my own, might be a while.....

Cheers
