- March 01, 2018, 11:57:30 AMI think inner tubes are relatively the same, i would also replace the rubber spoke protector. https://www.amazon.com/Outlaw-Racing-OR2008-Motorcycle-Protector/dp/B00D5EN84S/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Kawasaki%7C729&Model=VN800E%20Vulcan%20800%20Drifter%7C20210&Year=2000%7C2000&ie=UTF8&n=15684181&newVehicle=1&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=motorcycle

- March 01, 2018, 11:02:01 AMVP you are correct about some shops my local Kaw shop he charges extra to do the mounting and then the balancing if you do not buy the tires from him......I do not need the tires balanced because I use Counteract Balance beads and have for the past 4 years. I have a place that is a Car tire shop but the owners are riders and he does all his own tires in the shop and so he does mine and he will guarantee his mounting and such but not the "rubber" fair is fair......
888 tires in the rain, on long trips, fantastic even better than the 880's which I thought were really awesome tires.....

- March 01, 2018, 10:55:44 AMIt seems the over all consensus is Metzeler ME888 Marathon Ultra Tire - Rear - 140/90B16 - Wide Whitewall and Metzeler ME888 Marathon Ultra Tire - Front - 130/90B16 - Wide Whitewall. One thing to keep in mind is are you planning on buying the tires and mounting them yourself or are you taking it to a shop. Alot of places will only install motorcycle tires if you buy them off of them because of "liability" reasons. You don't want to end up with a set of brand new tires and nobody installing them for you.
Good luck!

- March 01, 2018, 10:16:58 AMHello everyone, I ride a 2003 800 drifter, and it is time for new tires. Could anyone recommend some tires for me? Whitewall or no whitewall? Radial or bias? Thank you
