Hey All,

You guys are the best! :-) However, I think that I am even more confused
now....so many choices :-)

OK...here's the next question. What do you put the tire pressures at?
Recommended in the manual or what is on the tire?

....Ian

Hi Ian,
My recommendation is the Continental Blitz - TKH23 110/90-18 front and
TKH24
 120/90-18 rear. Or you can substitute a Conti-Tour TK17 rear for several
bucks
 more. Either combination is very good - excellent traction wet or dry, good
handling characteristics, and long wearing as well. Priced right too -
M.A.W.
 has the 23/24 for $52 front and $59 rear at present.

I also notice Bridgestone has the S-11 in the same sizes for $50 front and
$60
 rear. I've never used these, so can't comment on
traction/handling/durability.
 
With the 120 rear you may have to move the brake anchor to the other side
of
 it's mounting bracket for clearance.

Cheers, Charlie
