So I order some tires from DK and when I got them in I notice two little sticker on them....Drag Specialties and Parts Unlimited.

Weiiiiiird! Are they the same companies? Anyone else order from DK and had the same happened?[Image: 1abdd0897a27f7c36fe559d4d4f0da86.jpg]

they will always have one or both of those unless the retailer takes them off. those are the wholesalers.
My local and large motorcycle store (MR) uses Parts Unlimited all the time ,, they have a daily delivery to the store.
PU bought Drag many years ago. I have known many people at PU/Drag over
the years. Since their HQ is in Wisconsin they would hire a lot of people from the
local dealers here. My ex boss ran Drag right after they bought it.
Ok cool I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

I noticed that you've gone with a BT-45 bias on the rear with a BT-54 radial on the front. Just wondering why you wouldn't go with two of the same tires, as both the 45 and 54 come in CB1100 stock sizes.
be curious to know how it rides to.

I couldnt find a BT45 Front when I order so went with the 54 which is very similar to the Dunlop I had. Same compound according to the manufacturers website.
