me too!!

Shinko 244's. Here are some close ups of the specs. The rear is a 4.10. These are for the DRZ. They seem awfully soft. I wonder what kind of mileage I can expect?

Still not a bad deal bought locally for about $140 installed with new heavy duty tubes. The tires themselves were something like $70, then $30 to mount and balance them.

I'll let you know how they hold up.

Anyone else using these on their drz or other thumper.

Did the deal at Cycleworks on Bell. Finally found someone to mount and balance MC tires for $15 each. And they matched Bike Bandit on tire prices.

You did all the painting and a fancy slide show. Dang! It took all weekend just to clean my air filter.

The color looks great.

Are you going to take it up north for the camp out this coming weekend?

I am taking it somewhere this weekend but not sure where just yet. Color is good but the last clear coat fish eyed on me for some dumb reason I can't figure out. Oh well it's gonna get dirt rubbed all over it anyway.

I may make a run up to Durango this weekend to see a buddy and do some high elevation riding. Not sure just yet but need to get out.
