used windshield?

Sorry Kurt I just recently rejoined the list after recovering from a back injury for almost 3 years. Anyways what kind of tread wear can one expect from those Kings? Any ideas?

Yes, I posted favorable comments about it just a few days ago. Kurt Grife [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] List sponsored by Dual Sport News at www.dualsportnews.com.

If the Kings KT-966 is a 50/50, then the IRC gp-110 I use is a motocross tire suitable for loamy soil. Am I bad? I mean, I looked at the website photos of the tire- 50/50 street/off-road tire with those minor spreads between knobs? Comparison test results would be most appreciative. Hey, if the tire is hot, I want pairs.

I saw Kenda has a new tire out this year and looks a lot like a Dunlop Trailmax. I bought one and think its great for me, sorry I can't see a model # on it or I'd be more specific. JLH/ND --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "mike torst" wrote:

I imagine you're talking about the K761. I can't wait to try it. I've got too many tires on hand! Ride safe, Don Kime - VFR750F, GL1500SE, GL1100, KLR 650 OH - M/C Safety Instructor/RiderCoach dkime@... http://forums.delphiforums.com/MCTourer/

I recently purchased some Maxxis M6006 tires. I just got back from a 300 mile freeway and 100 mile dirt ride. The tires work great for me. They do the highway/curves just fine. I had no control problems what so every. They corner well. I was on a fairly rugged 4x4 trail for about 100 miles with rocks, sand, great climbes and had great traction after letting the air down to a more accepable off-road pressure. They are a little "buzzy" on the freeway, but hey, I did not want street tires and it's not that bad. I don't know how many miles I will get, but I only got about 3000 miles from the stock POS tires and so far these are a huge improvement. These are the only other tires I have tried on this bike, so I am certainly no tire expert. When I corner I don't scrape pegs. So I am not as agressive as some riders on this list. But I felt they got a good innitial work out and I am happy with the results. Just my 2 cents. Mike

If you decide you want more offroad traction, the riding you describe would work really well with a Pirelli Scorpion Pro front and a Kenda K760 rear. Or, a D606 front and a Kenda K760 rear. Sounds a lot like the riding I do. I ended up getting a spare wheel set, so I can continue using a set of DOT knobbies for street use after they're too worn for the dirt. Now I can run them down to the carcass with commuting and trips to the grocery store, and throw on the good set for dirt rides. Devon

Where is a good place to pick up an extra set of wheels? Mike Sounds a lot like the riding I do.

Generally Ebay, or the list. I might have a rear wheel for sale. No sprocket, sprocket carrier, or rotor. Condition "hurtin" but serviceable. Anyone who's done a front end swap might have a front wheel to sell. Devon

[James L. Miller Jr.]

Have extra front wheel. Rotor included w/ new bearings. Speedo tabs gone, but makes a great GPS rim. $125 shipped US. I think that's $450 Canadian, right Dave? millerized --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, bigfatgreenbike wrote:

Mike, I had a Maxxis 6006 on the rear and liked it just fine except for the highway whine. I ended up getting about 4000 miles from it. I just put on some Avon Gripsters but I don't expect too much from them in the dirt. Bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
