Was going to get bike inspected but took a good like a tires and no way they will pass. So, I just ordered a set of Shinko 712 tires. This will be my fourth 712 rear and the first 712 front tire. I figured the rear has been a really good tire so time to try the front. My current front tire is a Shinko 230 and it has been quite good but I am hoping the 712 will be a bit better. I have used the 230 on the rear once but switched back to the 712 rear as I feel the 712 is just as good, if not better than the 230, but the 712 gave me more miles. Once I get the tires I will take the bike to get inspected. Hopefully they will not think my exhaust is too loud.

Springman , I got a 712 for my V-7 after seeing one on your bike .    How many miles you been getting from them ?    It is a nice looking tire !  

How much the Shinko?

Love the smell of fresh rubber. Tires and tubes have arrived. They will probably sit until the weekend of 29th as this weekend Kawasaki is having demo rides and I intend go ride the Vulcan S, W800 and maybe the Ninja 400 and anything else that looks appealing.

Springman you would look good on a  Vulcan S !   $8k out the door , but it will last forever  ...     Heck ! it would be fun just to ride one for a while !!
