I mean the rear is like 110 new , and front runs around 90. I had a set on my gsxr that I drag and That tire has been on there for 6months almost and I kill some rolling burn outs with it and at the track its the stickist tire you can find. Trust me you will love the tire. I tell everyone to at least try them out , and when they do they love how inexpensive and how good of a tire it is..

shinko's are only good for the track, hence "drag radial". i would never run those on a "street" bike. i want to stick going around a corner, not lowside. i have never ran the corsa diablo's yet, but i have heard nothing but good of them. and from personal experience, battle axes suck, they always felt like they were sliding a little bit around hard corners.

are you going to be using full or semi-synthetic oil?

in any case mobil-1 works great.

easy fix.. you can get people deals on their tires?? fine.. find somebody paying alot of money for a tire... and tell them.. hey... i will knock this much off your full set of tires if you get a tire put on my bike... Work shit out in trade... I used to do it on my food truck all the time. Box of steaks would "fall off the truck" and I would get something for free. Work with what you have got.

I mean.. i know what the mark up on tires is... and its rediculous.. you can save somebody $200 to $300 easy on a full set of tires... and they would gladly pay for your tire if they were still saving $100 or something.

I've used the Shell Rotella Synthetic stuff for a couple of years with no problems.

I have some good Amsoil full synthetic m/c oil I won't be using since I don't currently have a bike. Five bucks a quart if you want it (it's like nine bucks retail).

Do you wait for me to need things then just "happen" to have it? lol I think someone just wants some help moving furniture.
