these tires are one of the best bang -for-the-buck items I have ever bought. After 4k miles I still have about a third of the rear left and the front is at about half. The are comparable in feel and stick to the pilot roads I toasted last year. The only negative is that they run a lot warmer than anything else has for me. After a side by side 200 mile ride with a another fjr my tires were 25 degrees warmer than his Avons. I got a one time deal of $130 a set.

Which ones? I've got a set of 009's waiting in the "man room." I'll prolly get another couple K outta my OEM tires and then they're on.
I thought Ravens were 009s. I have about 2500 on the rear and so far it is a good tire with plenty of grip. Now just to see how long it lasts.

I have a shinko front on the way, should have it installed tuesday before EOM.
Great, I haven't put the front on yet, so I will trade a beer for your review when you get to EOM.

You know, I thought about that right after I hit the "add reply" button. Oh, well. It won't be the first time I've looked stupid.I thought Ravens were 009s. I have about 2500 on the rear and so far it is a good tire with plenty of grip. Now just to see how long it lasts.

That's one heck of a deal! I could get three sets, and have change left over, compared to the cost of the Michelin Pilot Road 2. If they only last half as long, I'll still make out! Where can I get a set?

These tires are working well for me also.
I am waiting to see how they handle in cold weather riding. We usually run 141 to Gateway, then To Bed rock and then to Moab and take river road home on January 1st. Just to start the new year right.

Thanks Scab. Checked out the web site and they want $80. front, $55. rear. and $20. shipping. I was ready to buy, only problem is the site is not secure. Don't want to take a chance.

The site claims "Hacker Safe - Tested Daily" & "BBB Online Registered" & "VeriSign Secured," but I am not sure what all that really means. I looked for a phone number but did not see one.
