I've been and priced them up, £175 fitted for the pair, gonna see if I can get any better prices, there's alot of competition around here for tyre prices. Thanks for the advice, I was at my wit's end. In all honesty, this bike has given me so much grief over the past couple of years that I'm considering moving over to a Z1000, my previous bike was a Yamaha and it had all the same quirks (no fuel gauge for a start). Sorry, random rant there, gotta find something to keep my mind off of my mundane job! Thanks guys!

I have an xj600s with a belly pan, dunno where it came from as it was fitted to the bike when I purchased it (along with a rear hugger), certainly sets the bike off, personally I didn't want a diversion as I thought they looked ugly, until I found mine. I can fully understand you wanting one, the only problem you'll have then is allowing extra time for journeys as you will almost certainly get asked about your bike before you're allowed to set off from places

Thanks for that advice dude, nice to get a reply. I shall bare that in mind, the Pirelli's seem a little too soft, with the mileage I do I'd get through them in a matter of months! Guess they're good for the track or the fair weather rider though, personally I don't believe in fair weather riding

I guess everybody else rides their divvy on the rims then

Anybody?

Hi, I live in the UK, my bike (a 98 xj600 divvy) is in requirement of new tyres and I'm a little stuck as to what tyres to get fitted to the bike. I do a serious amount of miles as the bike is my only transport, these miles are done in all weather conditions and I am wanting to make sure that I have optimum grip no matter what the weather throws at me. My previous tyres were dunlops (not sure what model), these were replaced by my local repair shop with some really nasty HEIDENAU tyres which to be honest provide about as much grip as you'd expect from a highly waxed sledge (very little). A friend recommended Pirelli Demons, I'm a tad concerned that I simply won't get the required mileage out of them as they sound a REALLY soft compound, just interested to hear what tyres others have used and how well they've performed. Thanks in advance, this is my first post and I'm no expert on these things (though I'm learning fast). Luke.
