USCG,

Are you sure the OEM Dunlops are not available? I had my dealer part guy check About 2 weeks ago and he put in 5 and they showed in stock. 5 was just a random amount he tried.

Thanks but I refuse to pay a dealer markup on tires so I really dont care about using the oem dunlops. I think most tires will be sufficiant for this bike being its not a race or track bike. I havent seen the dunlops on any of the discount tire sites, if the dealers have old stock you know they mark them up 20 to 30% at least. Ive heard good things about the Bridgestones.
Maybe the dealers will heavily discount the dunlops just to clear them out?? Its a little strange how all of a sudden the cb1100 went from a dunlop to a bridgestone as the oem tire almost overnight. Lots of people with my same bike had bridgestones come stock on theirs.
