Golden Tyres
Golden Tyres
Has anyone else put the Golden Tyres on their Paso 750. I just put my '87 Paso back together and found that the front tire rubs against the front fender on one side and has very little clearance on the other. I am thinking of putting a spacer on the front mount to move the fender up a bit. Any suggestions? Yes, I do have problems with my Paso but I still love it.

Nothing beats a well aged NOS
I'm waiting for the Goldentyres I bought to be 10 years old NOS before I install them.
Like wine and classic bikes, they only get better.
I bet if you sponsor some scientific research it'll conclude that in a few years all the environmentally friendly chemicals
disperse leaving behind pure, supple, pavement gripping rubber.
+ NOS sounds so much more sophisticated than just NEW.

When you ride 20 year old Michelins the cracks are free.
Stick your NOSe in a sealed bag of new 10 year old M59's and you know NOS is good.
Even Mc Tool seems to have recognized the benefits and brought his stash into the house.
This way he can both monitor the aging process and get his daily whiff of NOS.

Jeffreyt - Is it really touching with the Goldentyre's on?
No one else has mentioned it.
On car tires, at least, I found the modern ones to have a smaller diameter than the same size classic ones,
like Michelin MXL and XWX.

I remember the bike leaning a lot with the standard kick stand

Re: Golden Tyres

Re: Golden Tyres
Hi,
How the bike ride with this new Golden tyres?
I was changed the front dimension by 130/70 to have better filling on the side.
When touch brake in curve, the bike continue to turn and not stand up !
Thanks for you feedback
