Title: tire stuff
Post by: pookiebear on October 12, 2007, 10:05:18 PM
I have the gs500 rims mounted on my dr350 and just wanted to let you know my thoughts on the tires I am running. I have a pirelli sport demon front and a avon road rider rear in the stock gs sizes. Just so you know to me they stick exactly the same so for 25 bucks less a tire (or so)  get the road riders. When I bought the front sport demon the road riders were not out yet. I will be replacing it with a road rider when it wears out.

HAHAHA!  Excellent!

Why park in the parking lot with all the minions when you can jump the curb and park at the front door?   :icon_mrgreen:

Have any trouble getting it registered?

Someone else in here did this a few years ago on a super-motard bike.

27hp. at 300lbs. 4lbs difference in the gs rims over the dr rims. 1lbs in the front and 3 in the back.  This bike is street legal from the factory. Since werase didn't get a title when he bougt it, I had to do a vin verification and get the bill of sale notarized. Cost about 80 bux to get a tag. It is a very fun ride very stable and you can carry speed through a corner bettter than any of the other 14 bikes I have had. I just wanted you guys to see the after product of the used parts I was buying from you guys. The whole rear brake setup is gs500.  the front master cylinder is gs500. Going to switch the front caliper to gs500 this winter too.
