You could try Kerry at Motohaus, i think he's got a few bridgies in, if not he's pretty good at getting hold of em.

Mt Eden Motorcycles.
I bought one from them a couple of months back.
Actualy when it comes to just about anything I go to Mt Eden.
If they don't have some thing they just get it for you.

I couldn't get an 010 for the rear of my R1 and that was in March/April of this year. had to go to the 012 the next model or something, its black and round thats as technical as I need to get about tyres. Works pretty good too!

Bit of an eye-opener reading this thread because Bridgestones are probably the most popular bike tyre in Britain and you can get them anywhere.Apart from maybe the SV650 they`re considered about the best tyres for most middleweights by riders and the press for all-round use.I think there`s a wider spread of views on tyres for the bigger/faster stuff but they`ve pretty much got the market to themselves for things like Hornets,Fazers,600 Bandits e.t.c.

Mt eden won't be as cheap as Cycletreads tho because Cycletreads buy them en masse for dirty cheap prices (best bet if you want Bstones) - at least thats what Mike@ME told me last year. Sounds like Kerry could be a good bet but get prices off both Motohaus and Cycletreads I'd say.... or just kick bridgestones into touch and get some pirellis/metzlers! :shifty:

[DEATH_INC.]

I could tell you why treads is so cheap on bridgees,but I can't(or shouldn't)and it's part of the reason I won't use them.
Kerry will prolly be a bit dearer too,but the service is worth it.

It's no secret that Cycletreads are a retail arm of an importer. Perfectly legal.
Just a shame that Leading Edge no longer competes.

Don't want to get into a dutch auction, but in the interests of helping a fellow Jaffa.
$299.00 for an B/Stone 010 or Metz M1 plus free fitting if you bring your wheel in.

...but can you be bothered taking your wheel off and 'driving' in there to get the work done? Nothing like riding into the shop on a Sat morning, chatting for about 15mins with the tyre guy while he fits it and then 'riding' off to wear it in!

Depends how much you value your time in that case scenario? :msn-wink:

Reminds me of a few weeks ago when I rode into Motohaus and had Kerry fit a front tyre. As we were talking I noticed he was half way through taking off my rear wheel when I gave him a friendly reminder that it was the front he was supposed to be changing! :eek:

Would have been a waste of time had we got that wrong.

Yeh,but the bullshit thing is they use this to undercut those they supply at retail levels.... :mad:
