Has anyone tried Shinko tires on a 900 Classic?
I have used them on other bikes and have liked them.
Wondering how long they will last on a 900 cause they seem to have a soft compound.
Put em my 900 classic,front and rear,put about 3k miles on,sold the bike tires still looked great,minimal wear,I was happy with them,great tires for the price
I put Shinko 230 tour master on my custom, front and back, at the end of the season last year
I love them, a lot better than the ones that the bike came with when it was new, dunlop i think they were
I always run Shinko's, best bang for the buck. In the past I've run the 230 Tourmaster, but recently had a flat and wanted to try something different so I installed the SR734 in the rear. Better handling and smoother than the 230 in my opinion, but I can't speak for tread life as its only been on a week. I'm running 170/80 though, I don't believe that particular tire comes in the stock 180/70.
Shinko 777 on my Nomad ,front and back about 3000km on the rear and 1000km on the front. good so far , much better than the Bridgestones.
I will be putting them on the wifes 900 LT shortly
Any updates on there Shinko tires? I put a set of 777's on my Vaquero 800 miles ago. So far, great! Smooth and good handling. OEM Bridgestones gave out at 7300 miles, really disapointing, and I don't ride hard. Just wondering.
Put the 230's on my old 750. Was very happy with the way they rode both wet and dry, and even happier with the price. Just got a 777 to put on the rear of my new Vaquero. Hoping I'm just as happy with it as I have been with the other.
Had a Shinko installed on the rear of my VN900 when the OEM Bridgestone wore out prematurely and the handling in twists and bends has improved quite a lot, and the cost thankfully was a lot lower than other rear tires.
So far I've run about 1500 miles on mine with no problems. They seem to be wearing good and still handle great.
I do have one small gripe, the rear tires whitewall has some browning on the edge that will not clean up. I've been using
Westleys Blech‑Wite. Other than that, no problems.
