i ordered a set of shinko 006 Podiums yesterday in the stock size 110 front and 130 rear. should be in today.
also ordered new brakes and a 15t front sprocket.

im hoping they will be in within the next few hours.

once they are on im gonna start pushing them to get the mold release out!

my reviews and impressions to come

btw: for those who may live in the north GA/chattanooga area. I recommend American Motorcycle.

peace out!

Never saw a Podium 006 listed in a 130 size but they have a 140/60 rear available?  They've been using some of those on the Ninja 500 forum and I've seen them mentioned here too.

* update*

i got the 15t sprocket on. what a huge difference that makes!
i often ride 2 up  :icon_lol: and it always seemed lacking in 1-3. after about 25 mph it was a non issue.

also, i use this bike on windy back roads. verrrry little interstate travel.

the front tire came in yesterday.. but not the back? (they were both ordered at the same time and from the same place lol)
so once those go on we shall see.

the lady behind the counter showed me in her book that it was a 130-70-17 ? who knows maybe itll be something different?

time will tell
