Again, we see people desperate to revert our bikes to a modern bike.

I don't get it Red, do you? Undecided

FOR THE LAST TIME. CB1000R's ARE AVAILABLE!

Meaty! I love it...

Seriously though, I'm in need of new rubber, particularly rear. Reading the tyre threads (this one and the Michelin PR3 thread) is enough to make anyone tired. The manufacturer recommended tyres, BT54 and D205, are no longer listed as available. At least not here in OZ, in stock size. Since changing from the D205s I have been running BT 45s. I have been happy with them, but in stock size they would now appear to be a "special order" (subtext $$$Wink. I'd like to go back to radials, from the bias, so am now looking at the Dunlop Roadsmart and the Michelin PR 3s. Stock size in the front and 160/60s rear. I will be heavily influenced by cost and availability.

Cheers
