    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.

My tires only had bout 1400 miles on them,
They still looked good.
Benn inside basement the whole time.
But you all SCARED me to death to get new ones.
Got to thinking bout doing 100 on those old tires an decided to do it.
Bought pirelli from bikebandit
Around 60$ ea,free ship over 100$
Read a bunch of reviews before I decided on which brand.
I'm so pleased.
The ride and stability is greatly improved.
Got ride of big and littles,90 90 19 ,and 130 90 18.
Went close to stock, 100 90 19, 120 90 18.
Bike looks great and I'm pleased.
As Gomer Pyle would say,
Thank ya,thank ya thank ya.
 
Your bike will thank you for the attention and will give you many happy miles in return.

Good choice on the sizes. I think the 90 front is actually stock, but the 100 helps to correct some of the speedometer error without making the handling too heavy.
 
The tires that were on my '77 GS750 had tons of tread on them when I got it and would SKID when I downshifted swapped 'em out immediately.
