    Going to the Dark Side

    Keep doing your research. I am very curious about this. I've run a 190 rear tire before this Shinko 180 rear tire and did not have any riding problems with it. Clearance was the only concern. I think a 200 may fit but it cost lots more.

    Going to the Dark Side

    That Rocket III puts some serious torque on the pavement and does so on the straights and in the turns/twisties. Pretty impressive.

    Anyone tried the Shenko raven tires?

    I meant I do not ride as aggressive (aggressive-like) in the twisties like I used to. I guess I should go back to grammar school...not!! I love the twisties but respect them very much and know what can happen if I do not. The Shinkos do not keep me from riding in the twisties aggressively, the...

    Anyone tried the Shenko raven tires?

    I was there earlier this year on BT-021s and they performed great. I was following a very careful, experienced rider (MGMMike) and we were very far from home. I would not have any doubts or concerns riding with these Shinkos on the FJR (fully loaded up-solo) come next April following Mike again...

    Hmmm...that number 13 again. Lucky for some, unlucky for others. It finally caught up to him.

    Anyone tried the Shenko raven tires?

    Living here south of Houston with mostly flat roads and very little curvy roads and not so cold temperatures the Shinkos should last a good while then (hopefully). I should be heading to the Hill Country and maybe Eureka Springs again with these Shinkos and that would be a really good test for...

    Anyone tried the Shenko raven tires?

    I've got them on the FJR now with about a 1,000 miles on them. Cannot tell much difference compared to the BT-020s or BT-021s that they replaced. The Bridgestone BTs lasted about 8,000 miles but showed a flat spot in the rear tire early on and the fronts cupped and got the shakes. Too early to...

    Differences between 2005 & 2005.5?

    Early one may be a ticker...later one may be a ticker. :lol: So far mine is not a ticker (over 26,000 miles). Manufacture date 1-05, purchase date 4-01-05.
