    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.

    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.

By the way I recently put Cheng Shin Hi-Maxx tires (100/90-19 front and 130/90-17 rear) on my GS1100G and like the handling, looks, and ride. Since I only have a few hundred miles on them I can't report on wear life span.

Well, let me give you a hint or two about tire life with the Hi-Max tires. I put some on my wife's 850L a couple of years ago. Mind you, she is emphatically not a peg-scraper in the corners, so I can't comment on cornering grip, but the wear bars are finally showing in the center of the tread after 14,000 miles. \\:D/ The tires have never disapointed us, we have ridden on gravel roads and in lots of rain, with absolutely no problems. For an economy-priced tire, they are actually rather respectable.

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

I never for a minute doubted your judgment!!! Thanks for the information. I realize it's a 'tight squeeze'...but 'do-able'. With that, I intend to go the 130/70-17 route!!

:-D:-D:-D

Can I run a tubless tire on my gs?
 
I have to agree on the Cheng Shin (I have another name for them) Hi-Max.
The OEM Pirelli rear was toast in 4k miles and I was in Norfolk, VA when I saw the tire was bald! Had gobs of tread when I left STL....only tire in town in my size (120/90-18) was the Cheng Shin.
Pulled the wheel off in their lot, they changed and balanced it and lubed up the wheel splines real nice and I was out the door for about $80. Norfolk Honda folks were pretty nice, too.
I put about 8k on it before changing it. Still had tread but it was squaring off a bit due to mostly Interstate riding and I was heading to Deal's Gap so I went with my usual Conti Tour, which costs a bit more but works better.
 
I just bought a Cheng Shin Hi-Max. I'll install it on Monday and let everyone know.
Alot of praise sung here for these.
