    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.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

I took the FZ750 in for certification this morning and it failed due to crappy tires. Now I have spent all day trying to round up fresh ones but have a problem as I can't seem to find a front tire anywhere in Canada. It is a 120-80-16 in a "V" rating. Lots of websites have them listed but when ordering, they are no longer available or on serious back order. I even went to a couple of dealers and had the same result.

So at this point, I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a US reseller that would have something or would anyone have one to sell?

I'm in a bit of a bind as I have 10 days from now to replace them or I lose the certification. The bike passed in all other areas.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
I buy tires from Motorcycle Superstore. I have no idea if they deliver to Canada.

Delivered to my door in Victoria BC in 5 days! You gotta be able to get them just as quick.

Free delivery over $100. and extra $15 off for more than two tires. Great prices too.
Good luck:)
Ontario...the good old cash grab of having to certify your vehicle. Brutal!

Thanks guys. I ordered up a set of Avons from Canadas Motorcycle. $260 all in and free delivery, can't beat that! Actually, that is what is on it right now so hopefully some fresh ones will feel better. I'll let you know.
 
I just picked up a tire form them. It is freaky to pass your parcel notice to the POW and see them smile when they bring out a tire. Its fun like shiping a Banana.
 
thanx for that canada's motorcycle site, I have real old cracked spitfires on my Katana, and I ordered a pair of shinkos 712s (120/90/18 and 100/90/19), total was 146.shipped. they should be here Tuesday :)
 
they didn't list the ones I got,,but I will check out that site too for a price comparison on other stuff, thanx

...and how are they holding up? Do you have much opportunity to get out into the twisties at all these days?

I have about 1000 Km on then now, and so far I am liking them, no issues at all, very sticky, not bad in the wet as well....

Now I have not hit the twisties, not really a whole lot around my part of the world, but for the commute to work and back, the odd run around the city just to get out for a while they have been great, I try o lean on them as much as I can but I was never an aggressive rider or a knee dragger, so I am not really able to give them the work out they could probably handle...

But I do like them and I wouldn't hesitate to get another set, would love them on my FZ project but the sizes are not available, so I will be going with a set of Bridgestone BT45's ? once it's ready to roll....

Overall I like them....
