    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I'm tired...

So, as some will know, I finally got my 83 750E running. Now time to replace the 10 Year old Avon tires. I went through the
Search and pretty much figured out what kind I'm going to get. Right now I'm seriously considering the Pirelli Sport Demons.
My question is, who has the best deals on tires ? Remember, I'm a cheap bastard :D

I love my Pirelli Sport Demons :)
 
Then if you truly are a cheap bastard, you will be hard pressed to find a better quality tire than the Shinkos. Best tire for the money although you won't get as much mileage from them.

They handle well in wet or dry conditions but living in California, you may wear out a set within 12 months.

Most of us who use them enjoy the good feeling of fitting new ones once a season, albeit our season is quite a bit shorter than yours on the left coast.
 
You can get your tires from American Moto tire or Rocky Mountain ATV. Check them out online.

The 230 model is a favorite of a lot of us and also the 712 model works well.

+1 on the Sport Demons...our sources north of the border are not going to be a great option for you right now, but Motorcycle Superstore (now JP Cycles) used to be my goto for the best deals when I was buying tires on a more regular basis.
 
American Moto Tire or Rocky Mountain ATV always seem to have the best delivered prices.
