Huh?

You'll go broke replacing them together. Typically, on all my bikes, the front outlasts the rear something like two or 2.5 to one.

Right now, by F4i has 14K on it, still the original tire. Rear replaced three times--nails on all of 'em.

One was a Shinko. Did awful things to the handling. Might be better on the front, but the difference in price is not all that great and the Dunlop is just a better tire.

Some riders don't like to mix brands, but I've always done it with no issues.

I just picked up new tires. Metzler M1 one front and two rears. I agree the front usually lasts for two rear tires so I have my spare rear already.

In your original post, you said that you failed due to the tires, and you needed a "clear" light shining on your license plate. Is there a colored light shining on it now? If so, just change that light out with a clear one, using the same wiring. Voila, problem solved. As for the front tire, change it out. You can pick up a new tire from
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...ront-Tire.aspx
for about $100 depending on the size you need, then take the front wheel off, take it into a shop and have them mount it for you (should cost around 30-40 bucks) and then you have a new front tire for less than a buck-fifty. Unless you can find some take-offs, this is probably your cheapest solution as far as I know. If you take your bike in and have the shop take off the front wheel and mount/balance they will charge you more, probably about $75 or so (basically charge you for an hour of labor even though they'll have it done in about 20 minutes, those bastards). Still, your out pretty cheap. Good luck bro.
