Re: Gt750j project
Don't think you'll beat your local suzuki dealer for tyre prices, mine fits them free when bought there and will match prices. Plus if you buy online there's p&p to pay and you've still got to pay to fit them.Faststeve wrote:Carbs fixed still looking for a nice starter cover
And tyres will keep a eye on ebay

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

No. Fit a brand new stainless rim & spokes. Never have to have intercourse with your fingers again!!!
