I've just purchased a pair of these for my Aero, look forward to getting them on and seeing how they last. Everyone has their own 'Favourite' tyre but these have good reviews and can't argue with $390 pair fitted. I'll update with initial impressions and how they wear etc once I get some km around them!

Hi Pete. I am in need of new white walls also. (At least my rear tyre at this stage). My bike is the same as yours and they are the same size tyres. I have only ever bought Dunlops, but these Shinko's are a good price. Are they $390 a pair and then you have to pay to get them fitted?

I run the 777 on the rear of my 1800 and get around 12000km out of it which is good for me. I find it's good in the wet and dry and about $100 cheaper

Be interesting to see how the front tire fits at a 140. The 1100 May be wider in the forks than the 750. 130is usually the max without a bit of a mod to gaurd bracket love a pic once on . Thinking of tryin these brands soon cheers Ray

Price is 390 the pair fitted and balanced, but only if you remove the wheels yourself and take them down. Not sure what they would charge to remove/refit on your bike.
I did mine today (perks of working afternoon shift!), only took 1/2 hour to get the wheels off. I'm looking forward to fitting the wheels back on when I finish work tonight!
If I had have known I would have happily taken your wheel down at the same time!
The seller is Continental Tyres Preston, 102 Chifley Drive and they are absolute gentlemen.
I'll be sure to post pics of them fitted and do a follow-up in a couple of thousand kms
Peter

All fitted up, they feel gooooooooooooood Just been up over Mt Dandenong and they feel scrubbed in already. Will take a few more washes to get rid of the last of the blue goo off the whitewalls though.

Hi Pete. Looking good! I think white walls make the bike look a million dollars. I use soapy steel wool pads to clean my whitewalls. Wet the pads, gently rub the whitewalls then wipe them dry. Gets the blue goo off new tyres too.

George, Thanks for the tip on the steel wool.
Shane, ATM I have 36 in the rear 34 in the front, I usually drop each a couple of PSI over the wet season.
