Since we have poor choices running Radials unless you mod i helped my Brother-in-law with his 88 FZR1000.I looked into Shinko's 006's..He's got a 18" rear so we mounted a set of Shinko's cost shipped to the door was 250$ Canadian.I rode it home after mounting tires felt planted...he's went around 500kms so far and loves them..I'll re-post update after we get back from Deals Gap in July..by then he'll have 3-4000 kms on them

The boat must have come in. I looked at a couple of other vendors this morning that I normally buy from and they are also showing tires in stock.

Good to know, but I already ordered the Shinko tires so I can give them a test.

yeah, it will be good info to know if they turn out to be a good bang-for-the-buck alternative.
