Been busy getting bike up to it’s potential with the help of every here and especially IGOFAR. Thanks.
I stopped to take a look at my tires and date codes this morning. Lots of tread and looked good, I knew the bike had sat for a few years. My front tire was loosing air slowly so I checked it for obvious problems screw, nail, staple etc, with no issues seen. Valve stem not leaking. It has dropped from 42psi to 27 in 2 weeks. Knew I was going to have to address it before serious riding season comes in 3 months here in NW Arkansas. So today I checked date codes and as I suspected, they are pretty old. Front reads 1214 and rear reads 4813. Front is 7 years old and rear is 8 years old. Probably not 2000 miles on the tires but I took the plunge and bought some Pirelli Angel GT,s. If anyone was curious I bought the front from 2 wheel for $156.83. Rear tire was bought from JP Cycles for $195.41. Not one store I checked had both tires available at the same time so I bought from 2 different places. Oh well, excited to get these in and put some miles on them.
