I don`t know

I phoned the local tire dealer and the guy threw a bunch of different options in the same price range (180-220EUR fitted&balanced) like Dunlop Roadsmart 2, some Continental I didn`t hear, Michelin Pilot sport etc, at first I would have taken the Michelin but when he said they`ve had some delivery issues I told him I don`t really care what as long as he gets it for me at the start of next week, I`d suspect none of the big brands are total rubbish, or at least wouldn`t make a 23 year old over 100k driven bike any worse...

Got a Pilot Road 1 in front, no complaints about that.
Oh, a bit off topic but motocross throttles don't work due to them being single wire and the original throttle is a dual wire. Do anyone here run your bike on a single wire instead of both?
Ah, didn`t take that into account. ebay has some options like this although black but most of the chrome ones are for harleys and therefore 1" bar instead of the 7/8. Note that your original cables might not work with these. There are pulley boxes in existense that convert a single cable to a push/pull dual but I can`t find any from the net, possibly wrong seach phrases.

Never mind, I found a couple of ones on Dime City Cycles and ordered them. Hopefully that will work.

I do know what you're talking about. I was driving on tires that were at least ten years old, most likely even older, when I switched. Man, the difference is amazing. I can finally trust my tires instead of being scared of them. So you're right, any brand should do the trick. But I like your rebel attitude

Looked at her in pieces. Still have things to order to put her back together. Unfortunately now it's buy another car or fix the bike. If I didn't live on a dirt road it would be a no brainer.

Migge, the tank is looking awesome!

gtcole I know how you feel, been forced to spend money saved for the bike to the cars twice in a row... just got a text that parts worth ~400 have arrived for the Volvo...

Gonna take the rear rim off when I get home and throw it in the car trunk to get the new rubber mounted tomorrow after work, just in time for the rains that will last the rest of the week...

Thanks Mattson. I will substitute the headlight for yours as soon as I get a hold of welding machine to fabricate better mounts.

Ordered a clutch basket and valve cover gasket, which i got a steal on for the whole sum of 20 bucks. Brand new. Now a compressor, or electric impact..... I'm leaning towards compressor. Just have to convince the wife
