    We shouldn't tread on the OP, this thread was just gaining some traction.

    tires are purchased on price, quality and how you ride , form fit function, as much as I would like white walls I'm to cheap to buy them. I priced out Bridgestones but again to much$$ for my liking. its like the kirker exhaust that was on the bike to replace it would cost me $500, found a stock exhaust for 50$ disasembled n eed the pipe gaskets and muffler gaskets oem ones 30$ each ouch. then located aftermarket for under 10$
