Motorcycle shops.

Every shop down here CAN get them. And yes, nylon. Fine on a bucket unless your some sort of Rossi - in which case you'd have already have USD forks, disc brakes all round, alloy frame etc.

The irony?

Decent nylon tyres are pretty good, i rode a bike with Conti go's on it the other day. And it was fine, knee down and all, did start sliding the front a little.

Rubbers always good tho.

Yeah, you fair pushed those A-graders along on that. And you didn't bin out.

for no apparant reason my current nylon front just slid out at what had to be a 5 degree lean angle at 5km/h. I'll admit they were cold, and are bald, but it was dry... Hope that doesn't happen with these "vee rubber"'s... They aren't that bad are they?

No one (and I mean no one) has ever binned on my AX1R.

That does sound somewhat exagerated...
Th best slicks in the world will be totally shit once they are ten years old, have been thru a million heat cycles and are totally bald.

I would say try the vee rubbers, I am sure while they are not the flashest they will be miles better than what you have got.
Once you can use average tyres to their potential then start getting into he flash ones.

I'm stuck out of town at the moment, but if you ask Kendog real nice he might pop down to my "Pile of shit" in the garage and see if there is anything that might suit in there, otherwise I'll be home Saturday (Someone might need to remind me to have a lookie!)

Where is the 'Pile of shit'? If I went down and had a guy look I would never fine it
