Someone has the K760's, Trak Master II's on their bike, are those even street legal? It looks like it's missing a couple of blocks to be street legal, oh well. Look at the 2nd post at the top, the Dunlop 606 in the middle is what I'm running, and have a set of Kenda K270's when the 606 wears out. Also I am down to about 30% on the stock Dunlop 603 front tire, and so at 3100 miles that's not bad.

 

Yep, a few of us are running the K760, and yes they are DOT legal.

 

hey deej what size are the K270's you bought??? I would like a little lower tire that would help me reach the ground better
Thanks

 

The front is a 3.25-21 and the back is a 5.10-18 I also bought heavy duty Kenda tubes and am running the back 606 with the new tube. I still have the original tube in the shop and it has held air for a few months now, so its still good.

 

whats a good tire for sandy soil that also is about as good as stock on the road?


also anyone ever deal with american motorcycle tire.com or whatever it is?

 

Someone has the Cheng Shin C858 *pretty sure thats the number* and said it worked well in the loose stuff, it would dig in a bit then bite good, and handled the road well. No long term report thus far though.

 

The C858 if I recall has a tread that's almost exactly like the K270.
Almost a clone, with minor differences.
This site is good for comparing them:

thanks for the link kawi wawi.

 

My 603 is just about stuffed after 2600 kms so I had a Kenda K772 "carlsbad" fitted, haven't tried it yet hope to go for a ride this weekend



looking at the new knobby beside the rear supermoto rim

 

Here's a pic of the C858.


The clone tires are actually IRC and Kenda. IRC originated that design and has a better rubber compound and Kenda makes their harder copy called the 270. Quoted from advrider.
