[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 50566, member: 27"] I too do not care for SM rear tyres. I have a Bridgestone 19" front/rear pattern tyre on the rear of the Shadow, mostly because I bought the exact same tyre for the front of the Comet, since the Comet has proper Touring spec rims. Every time I took the Shadow over to Haig's shop (a local Vin guru in So Cal), he would make a remark about how could I ride with such a skinny tyre on the back. I think it is a 100/90, but would have to take a look to verify. I used to use Avon RoadRunners, I think that was the model name, on the rear of the twin, but got tired of the lousy tread life, got sick of buying and changing tyres often. The Bridgestones last longer. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
