    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Any onions on this tire? I have just realized that this is the tire that needs to be replaced on the back of my motorcycle. I guess the previous owner found it worked for him, so I'm debating it.

Its either this or the HiMax
 
I've used the 627 plenty of times and it's a fine tire that will work well with your GS.

The HiMax will probably give you better mileage for a better price. I've been using HiMax at both ends and they work very well. I've found them to be the best value per mile.
 
The Dunlop 627 is a really old design -- I'd be amazed if they're still making them, but who knows how much old stock is out there moldering in warehouses.

The Cheng Shin is a much better choice -- better price, mileage, and grip, and available in all the strange sizes needed by old twins. Make sure you verify the actual correct sizes needed for your bike instead of trusting whatever size the PO stuffed on there.

Replace both tires, while you're at it -- it'll feel and handle sooooo much nicer with fresh rubber on both ends.
