Bridgestone Tire COMBO for GL1800 G704/G709
ITEM CODE: WSBRCOMBO, SKU: WSBRCOMBO

I am buying again!
| Wrote about these in October of last year. I got 11,283 miles on the rear and have good tread left on the front. Going on a trip into Canada and then thru Montana and Wyoming. Have no hesitation with riding on these tires! I ride very agressively and can say that I see little difference in these 'Stones and the Dunlop E-3'S. I'll put the $100 savings to a good use. |

How long will they last?
| First time for 'Stones. Elite 3's usually. One set of Avons. Stick like glue but don't last. New "stones: 3,928 miles two up, frway, mtns, desert (Death Valley at 111 degrees!), 6 nat'l parks, one downpour,secondary roads with twists and no problems! Then 1500 miles running passes in Calif. Very aggressive riding one up. Worked fine! No problem staying with buddy running E3's. Some noise but not enough to complain. Little drop off from up to lean in slow turns. Sidewall? Like to save cash ($120 less than E3)so if they last I'll be getting again! |

All Balls rock!
| I should get a commission from All Balls. Have had two more friends install them on their GL1800 bikes and they couldn't be happier. Honda should be ashamed not to fix this. |

| I have had a low speed/deceleration wobble in the front of my 2006 GL1800 since I got it. Have had several sets of tires on it and they seem to help some but the wobble is still there. Put the new bearings in and a new set of Elite 3s. No wobble at all! Will wait for the tires to wear down and see if any wobble comes back. So far this looks great and the stearing feels "lighter". Sweet! |

| Standing there with a really long knife looking to cut the seat... no pressure there! It actually was quite an easy install and the comfort is great! Twenty three states, Deals Gap and 7,700 miles without a back or shoulder ache in May 2009! Looks as if it were original equipment. |

| Reviewer Michael has it right! I,too, was confused by the lack of complete directions. I did install them and found I had to reinstall a part because of the confusion. I've ridden for years with boards and these don't seem to fit me quite right. Short from front to back, I'm a size 12, and the front toe sits too close to the engine housing. As for the two pieces that go under the board; those both broke off after starting up the Tail of the Dragon! Supposedly they protect the sides of the board from wear. No joy there. Look great. Heavy duty. |

| Well the truth is they don't really fit that well. The radius of the bend is off a bit and they don't fit with the flat pieces. If you use a hair drier, on a low heat setting, you can bend them a little to have a closer fit. Holes were also just a touch off. Don't tighten them until you have all the screws in and then tighten each as you would lug nuts. Alternating as you go. Riding partner liked them so much he, too, bought a pair. |

| I wanted additional lighting for the rear and these work great! I was a little apprehensive about taking the rear of the bike apart but it went together well. Took about 1 hour. My riding buddies say it looks great and lights up nicely. |

| First set of these tires and I am really pleased! I have used Elite III tires on my bike and though they are good tires the Avons are superior. Put the larger 70 sreies on the rear and the speedometer is now corrct. Drove from Oregon to Deals Gap and rode the Dragon! 7700 miles and the bike handeled great. Lean and let them turn! Tracked like they were nailed to the road. Still have a great deal of tread left after the trip. Floor boards took a beating! |
