ya really wish vee rubber didn't suck so bad with their leaking on the 26" tires and 21" that i know of. I was told that the WW from vb is almost a beige color.


if you are a avon tire junky, paul @ Nativecustombaggers.com sells the avon version of this - tab does those too.

That's a good looking tire! I did not know you were going WW. Are you still also changing your fairing?
