Anyone here run the Shinko tourmaster 230 on their gl1200?

I have an 1100 and the Bridgestone S11's are the best I've found and they happen to be one of the cheapest, but I wonder if the 1200 is different enough to matter.

~O~

I got the Shinko on the rear of my 1200, got 9600 miles on it and still got decent tread left, never a problem with it and it's solid as rock in the curves.

On the site poorboy runs some guy went to great detail itemizing every mile he rode on the stinko tourmaster, about 9,743 posts (ok I am exagerating a little). After that he posted one almost as many reports summing the ordeal up and then a new post about the end of the shinko tourmaster test - they do not have that neat little "Mark Forums Read" command there and the admin guy got testy when i asked him about adding the command the end result is some guys (like me) have way too much time on their hands and I WILL NEVER RIDE A BIKE WITH A STINKO TOURMASTER


I use Dunlop Elite II's and I find they are good
