    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 am rebuilding a 1982 GS1100E and I have been looking for a set (110/90/19 & 130/90/17) they seem to be out of stock everywhere. I am looking for suggestions for a reliable source for them. One retailer told me he thought they went out of production. In that case alternative suggestions would be great. I am looking for new tires on the cheap, and I am trying to stay away from junk.
 
I agree with the 100 on the front. The 110 is harder to turn, makes it feel like somebody turned off the power steering.

Roadrider MKII seems to be widely available these days. I'd go for those if budget allows.
 
I finger fumbled the keyboard on the front tire size, I meant 100 width. I have used the 100/90/19 a lot before, its's what the bike has on it now. I have never ridden an 1100 with the 110 on it, and it sounds like I don't want to. I found a set of the Shinko 230's a 100/90/19 & 130/90/17 with free shipping for under $133. I have those on another GS1100 I have and I have been happy with them as a low cost option. Thanks for all the info everyone.
 
I wound up buying set of V rated Shinko 230's front 100/90/19 & rear 130/90/17. They were delivered with free shipping in 4 business days. I got them from americanmototire.com, fresh date codes, great price $133 total for both tires. Thanks again for the input.
