     Well after 5 yrs and 43K give of take a 1K I had to get a new front tyre for my heritage...  $212.00 fitted Dunlop 402 from GC Cycles on Mn Nth rd Enfield.  I was pretty happy with the preice and if I get the same out this one will be even happier..

    Man!!!! thats gotta be a record from a front runner. 43000ks? I gotta ask.......do you use the front brake. my record is 22000ks when i had my valkyrie. Sounds like you got a bargain on the newy too. Well done.

    About right! I get about 40 thou out of front. Done nearly 100 thou and on third front. Mind you I'm pretty light on the front brake!!

    Still have original pads!!

    Just saying.

    I rang HH in Adelaide and was quoted $265, fitted and balanced. Dunlop 402. GC Cycles on Main North Road at Enfield cost $212.Fitted and balanced. I took the wheel off myself so probably saved a bit there.
