Renovation Time
Bryanj:
You took Cheng Shings that fast!!!! You must have a death wish, that is unless they have improved 1000% since i was fitting them----would only fit them to C50 & 70's the 90's were to powerful for them

I was a dickhead Bryan....I didn't think I'd be using the bike that much once it was done and didn't see the point in
Bryanj:
Don't sweat it, last time i was fitting tyres in anger was over 30 years ago and I'm sure they have improved, just had to make the comment!!
I have yet to find tyres that handle better than TT100's but the rear dont last long and to get the best you need the skinier 4.10x18 rear as against the 4.25/85x18.
I have been cheating for years and buying from central tyres swearing blind i am a dealer and paying with card on order, but then havent bought any for a few years now so they may have tightened up.
Other ones i personaly like are the metzeler's using ME77 rear and ME11 front, I think you have to put tubes in a tubless but that seems the norm now

Do you know what the most pleasing thing about this bike is...its come to light that my family and non biker friends hated it and thought it was an horible looking thing.
Oh not anymore...!!! they all love it now dont they. My daughter came home from holiday the other night and was talking to my Missus and her mates in the garden as I returned from my mega blast. All heads looked left and my daughter came prancing over ..wow dad... is that that horible brown thing, i hated that bike it was awful....!! The rest of them admitted to dis-liking my old Honda with various comments about its horibleness.
Convinced me that all ya gotta do to impress a bird is give her something 'shiny'.
