    I've ordered 3 whitewalls from http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com . Quick shipping and the best deal for the specific tires I was looking for.

        +1 motorcycle-superstore. Would of went with RMATV since they're closer, but having no Conti-Go's, superstore was my choice last summer.......reasonably quick shipping. Sure miss Keel Bros. in Atlanta retiring......best pricing and two days to my door.

          I also use motorcyclesuperstore. Two day UPS ground, as they are in Oregon, and FAR cheaper than local. Less than $150 for the pair of Shinko's going on the '79 I'm working on now, and $350 for Pilot Road GT 4's for the BMW. Local the BMW tires would have been over $475 PLUS mount and balance! Less than $400 for everything because of the price.

            Although I may not have hit the sites mentioned above, I found the best selection and pricing at Bike Bandit when I bought a set of Kenda and a set of Continental for my triples last year.



            Came in 2-3 days with free shipping.

              +1 for MC Superstore here too. Best prices anywhere, and free shipping. I find it difficult to locate whitewall tires in our sizes, and they always have what I am looking for.

              Here's my web page devoted to my bike! XS/XJ User's Manuals there, and the XJ1100 Service Manual and both XS1100 Service manuals (free download!).

                just did comparison

                on motorcycle superstore with free shipping and the site I use Tires Unlimited http://tiresunlimited.com/default.htm. For the Bridgestone spitfires that I use I come out 11.00 cheaper. May vary depending on location and shipping cost.

                  Motorcycle Superstore ships tires for free. So do several others. It doesn't hurt to shop around.
