I can't decide on tires :(

Thats it I am going with the 606's. Are the stock tubes good enough?

I used heavy duty ones but i see no reason why you couldn't use the stock ones.

Just to add to what the 606's are like on the street the only way i can get them to lose grip on the dry is by giving it heaps through a sharp turn and being really hard on the change from 1st to 2nd. the read steps out just a tiny bit. silly but fun

The only problem had with the pipe was the bolt fell out that holds the spark arrester in. the SA did not fall out but it makes noise. I put a screw in to hold it but stll makes a rattle noise. I failed the sound check at last weeks DS ride here in MI. the reader said 100.5 db.

As far as the tires I have had no problem on the street other than a little swim at high speed on a rain grooved highway. These will be the only tires I get, unless I know I will be doing a lot of highway miles on a trip. I was thinking the Mefos or TKC's for that .

What sizes are you running with the 606's and are there any clearance issues?

At american motorcycle tire they list a 130/80 17, Im not sure what these numbers mean but if its the same as car tires its going to be a bit wider?

130= section width. 130mm across the tread

80 = section height (aspect ratio) or 80% of 130mm = 104mm high

17 = Wheel diameter

I have the 130/90-17 rear on it. I have no clearance issues.

Well, those D606's look awesome and I will be fitting those in that size next time around, just what I need. Below are a couple of photos of the stock sized C6006's a currently running. They are very good indeed but those D606 absolutley rock!
