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.

anyone in the uk know of a matching pair of tyres available for the gs 750 1978 model i have spent an hour on line but it does not appear as if one company makes a matching front/rear
 
What size you got now? 3.25-19 front, 4.00-18 rear?
What's your budget?
One of your countryman will know where to get deal

What do you mean by "matching front/rear"?

There are lots of tire manufacturers that make tires appropriate for your bike. Sorry, but I'm not understanding the problem.

i like to have a matching pair of tires on my bikes regardless of make ie avon/bridgestone/conti at the moment the bike i have imported from usa has bridgestone spitfires on 110/80/19 front 120/90/18 rear and the rear is worn as i dont know how long the front has stood and spitfires are not available in uk i also want to renew but cant find one make the does both sizes in same type streetsmart/roadsmart/ etc
 
Yes, lots of choices in those sizes. I had conti blitzs on mine but way too expensive,so I opted for shinkos- tread pattern was eerily similar. It just comes down to how much you want to spend.
 
Avon RoadRiders are a popular choice and should be available in the sizes you require.
 
Avon Roadrider are the forum favorite. 100/90 front and 120/90 rear. That 110 front is questionable because the front rim is quite narrow.
 
One tidbit -- you'll often find the Avon 100/90-19 listed under rear tires/tyres because it is designed to be used on either the front or rear. There's an arrow on the sidewall telling you to mount it spinning one way if on the front, the other way on the rear.

hi all,i have found two sets of matching tires avon roadrider and conti-go but when i was sufing i was looking for 110/80s but now ive put 100/90 for front i can get matches only thing is the fronts are rated 57v is this ok
 
V-rated tires are better than H-rated (for the most part). I'd get the V's when you have a choice between the two.
 
Get the Avons in 3.25-19 and 4.00-18, problem solved
