Title: TARS NEEDIN SNEAKERS MAN
Post by: Blueknyt on July 30, 2003, 02:01:30 PM
Ok, how would i go about finding a source of "Blems" ?? i need tires, i have a metzler on front, looks new, but its hard as a rock, looked close and it  has RACE on it, these are spose to be soft yes?  well put it to you this way, i can snatch the front brake at 20mph and it locks and slides, even after 30 mins are semi aggressive riding to warm it up. the back is a GT501? that came from a friends katana, 1/2 life was on it when it took a nail (holes in tread dont scare me) but its getting worn too.  Where can i find cheap Blem Tires of ok compound for decent cornering but can handle constant milage?  it would seem i need to replace my swingarm bearings too, feeling alittle wiggle on and off the throttle but TIRES, Must HAVE TIRES. best price around here is 100$ front and 120$ rear, i can mount em myself

drop it to 27-28....it will heat up then
