[QUOTE="AApple, post: 93000, member: 56"] I can get the Shinkos in the right size locally. I was referring to being able to find any other brand, such as a Michelin, or Dunlop. As far as actual mileage, at this point I AM estimating, since I have changed the speedo at least 3 times since I've had the bike, and the one that is on it now, which happens to be the original one it had when I bought it, the odometer stopped working. The bike had 52,000 on it when I bought it. At the time I changed back to the speedo that's on it now, it had close to 80,000. But, no, I do not [b]positively[/b] know the actual mileage I had added since I bought it in '08. I kept up with it for the first 2-3 years, until the odo quit, and it was under 10,000 per year...I do know that. I guess I'll just have to accept that I will have to replace the rear tire every year.... :crying: And to add insult to injury...I was looking at the front tire earlier.....that dang thing is cupping something awful!! Plenty o tread left, but it's like looking at the mountains....up/down/up/down.... :Awe: :crying: [/QUOTE]
