Yama Mama Posted March 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2008 :hurts:Help! We are considering buying white walls for our 99 RSV two tone silver. I know I saw a bike on here in one of the galleries with white walls. Would someone possibly recall whose bike that is? Thank you, Mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KitCarson Posted March 23, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2008 That would be Eck His is silver.....but you could park half of it in the shade........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted March 23, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 23, 2008 Can't believe I ever saw one, with white walls. Eck's is a 05 Silver (I believe). The White walls I think look good on the darker coloured bikes. They are a pain to keep clean though. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted March 24, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 24, 2008 That would be Eck His is silver.....but you could park half of it in the shade........ Kit, Sorry guy, but mine is an 05.......not a 99.. The 99 is a two tone silver I believe, where as the 05's are one solid color silver (called liquid silver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yama Mama Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted March 24, 2008 Hey Guys the only brand that has a front and rear tire in the stock size is Dunlop. However, the write ups on multiple sites indicate that they are low mileage, and noisy. Mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have AVON's on mine right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich99 Posted March 24, 2008 Share #14 Posted March 24, 2008 :hurts:Help! We are considering buying white walls for our 99 RSV two tone silver. I know I saw a bike on here in one of the galleries with white walls. Would someone possibly recall whose bike that is? Thank you, Mama Go into my picture gallery and there is a couple of pics there with my 2 tone 99 RSV with withwalls. As far as the only tire company left that sells these sizes, I've only gotten them from Dunlop, the 404's. I've been using these tires as long as I can remember, and got up to 24k miles on them when they sold the 150-90B-15. But they got greedy and sold a softer rubber tire so it would wear out in 8k miles, and I've been flustered ever since. They call this tire the 150-9015 now, they left out the "B". I just replaced the rear tire of which I ordered a 150-90H-15, but as luck has it, I didn't get that tire. I guess they found another 150-90B-15 tire in the back of the shop some place, and I was joyed with getting the tire that I got 24k miles on before. So instead of replacing the tire in 8 months, it's be 2 years or better before I have to replace it. That works for me as it saves me . So hope you find what your looking for. As far as finding any other tire that'll get you that type of mileage, I don't think they exsist any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggler Posted March 25, 2008 Share #15 Posted March 25, 2008 My '99 burgundy and silver has wide white walls. I use Dunlop 404 WWW. I got about 12k miles on my last set and they were not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I got the "H" Tire and I have about 8K miles and it is getting pretty close to being replaced. I like the Dunlop tires as they fit with my riding style and I never noticed any noise. I have a 99 Bugundy (Dark Pink as some say) and Silver like Jugglers Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed my rear tire I bought last year bought last year (dunlop WWW) has the "B" on the tire and it is about worn out at 8,000 miles. Most of the riding was highway pulling a trailer but still ?? BRad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
