Well I'm kinda getting amped up about this project so I decided to take advantage of a sportbike tire sale at Cycle Gear that was going on today. They had package deals on Pirelli Diablo tires and also Bridgestone BT-016 tires. So I picked up a set of tires for under $200. Can't beat that deal and now I have tires for my Aprilia/ Kawi project bike.
