Re: Spree Tires Help

Have found best grip available in 10-inch tires to be the Dunlop TT-92. Expensive by comparison and probably intended more for the track. ANY new tire you put on, Kenda, Cheng Shin, Shinko, etc.(sportbike type tread pattern) will give better grip than any OEM style replacement..... :imo: ......don't...

Re: Gyro - general thread

When I said Honda-san got it right, not until 1985 with the Gyro S... 8) .....The '84 was the right concept, but in '85 & '86 they re-engineered and got the geometry WAY better... :thumbwink: .....wider rear stance, lower tube frame, repositioned seating, essentially everything. They lost a lot...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Gyro is nothing like the ATC's of three-wheel variety. Those were quite unstable, especially with the big flotation tires giving it more bounce than is controllable. Key to the difference is the pivoting of the Gyro platform which keeps both rear wheels in constant contact to road surface. It is pos...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Give you high marks for effort and adaptive thinking..... :thumbwink: .....trouble with the Gyro is that it conforms to none of the standards set by the two-wheelers when it comes to elevating for maintenance, repair, etc. The "sportbike" stand is functional once you get the rear wheels of...

Re: This arrived Friday
