[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 130498, member: 98"] this is something ....ever since i got my 79 oldwing ...my very first concern was ....the tires made at the time i needed them were just flat out junk ...and if that wasnt enough i watched as major manufactures actually cheapen the tires up that fit this bike ....now if joel had made this post about a car tire ...people all over would be saying ... buy a quality MC tire....sheeesh.... there really is no quality MC tires out there for these bikes .....and its all about rim size ... if the rim size was more like todays production bikes there are many tires out there that are great and a oldwing would perform great ... oldwing frames are as good as todays frame ...the oldwing in paticular is really great as the motor is structural and interweave in frame ....and all the blaming the frame and early tech is the reason for poor handling is pure BS for what ever reason the tire manufacturers will not make quality for these bikes ... i am a good enough skilled person that this is totally obvious ... and also skilled enough to know the frame discounts are pure BS...when it comes to structural integrity im really hard to beat .... there should be very discounting threads about how tire manufacturers are just providing sub par products ...actually dangerous products to a specialized market of bikes of a vintage bikes while all the new bikes get the best ....criminal in book people who go car tire see this huge safety issue ... and take it upond themselfs to make there bikes safer or change rim sizes to something that a quality tire can be put on .. just to get slamed by the literature gurus who puke up the tire manufacturers BS safety concerns ....... i am always trying to make my oldwing safer and more reliable ....the complete bike is included ...witch includes tires .... :thanks: [/QUOTE]
