Off-road tires

[Ed Miller]

Whoa!!!!  Went out to my BSA enabler today on the A65 Thunderbolt and saw a 21" IRC GP-1 on the floor.  Told Beno Rodi that I was thinking about putting the 3.50-18 on the front of the R65.  He then let out that the one on the floor had come off a bike and was being thrown away because it was a peice of SH^T.  I picked up the tire and sure enough the rubber felt like plastic!  Aparently on the road the tire washes out in no time (has no traction).  Has anybody else had this experience??

Caveat Emptor!!!

Grr.  They're cheap enough I may give them a try anyway, but I'm on wet pavement more than almost anything else.

Why does Beno's name sound familiar?  Does he have somebody named R.F. Whatley working with him?

Motu, were you able to use the stock cables with the flat track bars?

[Motu]

I used high bar  throttle cables and upper choke cable,everything else  stretched to fit.We had to bump the year up to 1989 R65/20 before the computer at the dealer would say what I wanted it too.Motobins just list high or low bars,that's all you need.

Yes you have connected the dots.  British Bike Aficionados!  You get a cookie!
