Shopping around for a new set of tires, but not finding a set to fit the ST1100 now.
Here in the UK you can still get the G547 front from mytyres.co.uk. They do actually come from Germany, though all transactions are in sterling and there are no import duties to pay as you are buying through a UK subsiduary. The G548 rear, however, is now like rocking horse ....You won't find Exedra's any more. You really can't find a modern set of tyres in the correct size? ....F/R 110/80-V18, 160/70-V17...
I have always ran Metzler, but I guess it's time to switch to DunlopIt took a few days of looking around this spring to find a set. Ended up going with a set of Dunlop Roadsmart 3's. The Bridgestones were on back order everywhere I looked in my tire size. Try Chaparal motorsports. Had my tires in 3 days.

I just took a set of Dunlop Roadsmart 3 tires off of my 1991 ST1100 after 5,000 miles as the front tire was cupping bad. I have new wheel bearings on this bike too as I replaced the wheel bearings when I put the Roadsmart 3 tires on. I even checked the balance of the front trie with my static balancer after I took it off the bike, it was fine.
Yeah... that rumor gets spread since the mid 90ies...You won't find Exedra's any more.
Not enough straight road over here...DARKSIDE !!!!
