I have often thought it would look good on all the engine covers and the sprocket covers. Forks too if your not into polishing them

Those are the BEST kind of Kenda tires. :encouragement:
Do yourself a favor, find a way to pass them on to your worst enemy.

I prefer Shinko 712's but these are the right price. I'll let the guy who buys it from me change them out.

Ok... I gotta ask. What's so bad about Kenda tires?

I won't even let them roll across my shop floor, let alone sit on the bike to guide it. 
I don't ride hard at all, but I have gotten them to slide on nice, dry, warm pavement.
I hate to think of what they might be like under less than perfect conditions. :-\\\
Shinko 712s are good, so are the 230s, which are currently on all of our bikes at home right now.
The only 'problem' with the Shinkos is that they don't last very long. For those who only ride a couple thousand miles a year, that is several years of riding. For those of us who ride a bit more, that's maybe a season out of a tire, but I plan on doing higher-than-average miles next year, so will be riding on something else.

Thank you steve. I put Shinko 712 on a KZ550 two years and 4k miles ago. I ended up buying the same bike back this past spring. The 712's I put on when I sold it were still there and looked barely worn. I like them for the tread pattern and the overall performance. They have never felt skittish or unsafe no matter the riding conditions.
My 08 Dyna is going to need tires before spring and I'm considering Shinko for it. I think the 230 come in the sizes I need. I put a brand new Dunlop HD branded tire on the rear about 5k miles ago and it's all but worn out. I don't ride that bike aggressively at all. Since I typically only ride that bike about 1k miles over the winter I'm sure it will need new tires in March.
