I have just replaced the tyres for the first time as I have only had the bike a year. I stuck to the Dunlop D404 but it is early days how long they last. I have done 3k up to now and have had no frights with them, these commanders troll mentions sound good.

My first set lasted me 2 years/24,000 miles, and they are still not completely worn out. I now have 1,000 miles on my second set...

- April 17, 2015, 18:03:56 PMHello folks,
I did some research a while back on recommended replacement batteries and tires but I lost all my notes and I don't have time to go digging again. Can anyone recommend a high quality replacement battery? I don't mind spending the extra money for a long lasting quality battery. I will be using a Battery Tender on it. I also may be adding a stereo and extra lights later to one of my two drifter 1500s, so I need plenty of juice.
I am also looking for good quality tires as well. I live in Florida so the roads are pretty rough on tires down here. Looking for combo of long lasting a good grip. Again, money is not the question when considering how important your tires are. Thx for any help.
