    Opinions on Metzeler Roadtec Z6 tires

    I'm considering these to use as my leap into radials, what do you guys think? They're on sale right now on bike bandit and I think they'll work out nicely, since I can't find the shinko 011 or 009 in a size that will fit the factory front max wheel

    Where do You Buy your Tires

    I was wondering where everyone buys their tires? I have an 03 VMAX and I'm finding that the usual place I buy tires, Tires Superstore, does not carry this size. As I search further, it seems that the 110/90-18 is a unique size (I think this is the original tire, it's a Dunlop Qualifier). Any...

    Turbo my Max ? And update on Shinko tires.

    So I have all these extra turbo parts that came with my Busa..... got me thinking of putting a turbo on my Max. I would just be concerned at how much power a stock motor could take. Could you see 175-200 hp without breaking the trans, bending rods or snapping parts? I think nitrous is a...
