Around $250 for the set from Chaparral Motorsports.

The Bridgestone Battlax that I saw on the site were BT 45, tires on my bike are BT 54, not sure what the difference is.
Saw the front 110/80R18 but not the back which is 140/70R18, maybe I missed it?
The front tire size are on back order.

Its funny you say that cause I always confuse BT45 and BT54 thinking I get the numbers backwards but I guess there are actually 2 different models? Whichever ones are factory are the ones I had.

Dare I say that the 45 was factory and discontinued and the 54 was the successor?


Its definitely cheaper to get tires yourself and then pay a shop to mount them.

Even cheaper if you put the bike on the center stand and take both wheels off. The shop charges less if they don't have to take the wheels on and off the bike themselves.

(+1) Battlax on the CB1100 and CRF1000.

Did you go with the BT54 on the africa also or those battlax dual sports?

Battlax A41 on road tire. No complaints. Really enjoying them. When they go, I will likely consider other exciting offerings.

I was going to do the Dalton highway last season and was going to have the scrambler tires shipped to the shop in fairbanks to put on when I got to Alaska. Still want an excuse to try those tires! (Not that our suspension supports much offroad but "scrambler" is a safe category to aim for)

Nope. The BT-45's are bias ply and the BT-54's are radials.
