here you go, I have put on 6-sets of kenda so far 2-metz, ran the kenda on the roadstar for 3-1/2 seasons 12-15k per set, change begining of the season and beat the hell out them a little noisy but no problems, 2-sets on the venture same results. still running metz on liner becouse of larger tread the ride is a little nicer on metz, but the metz in my opinion arent worth the extra . just my experience, roady seems to do just fine.

No first hand experience but a buddy of mine was running a Kenda on the rear of his. I'm not sure of exact millage but it seems like that thing went pretty quick. I rode his bike and the grip was fine though. Might be a good deal for the money if you don't mind putting tires on a little more frequently.
On a side note, I had great luck out of Shinkos, albeit on a smaller bike.

I had a new kenda kruz put on when I bought my bike. After 3k the rear just felt like it was tracking funny. Had it checked and it was balanced, pressurized and mounted right, but the treads felt squirrely, especially at high speeds. I replaced it with a Dunlop and the problem went away. My dealer never really badmouthed the kenda, he just said it was not the best choice for our large bikes. Wierd, never had issues with mine...

may have had something to do with load rating? They make a few sizes that will fit.

My "load" has increased substantially over the years, but I think I am still within the limits of safe riding!
