Was also curious about the tires. I've got 9k on my stock death wings and need to replace them. Well, at least the rear, but would really want to replace both as I wouldn't want a death wing on the front and a good tire on the rear.

I love the Anakee 2's, they flat perform almost everywhere. Sand and mud are an issue, but that's more of a GS fault. Too big. LOL

Even that is a stretch. Believe me.


It's totally worth it, just a different kind of adventure.

I need to see more of our country. I will probably never travel outside this country for a number of reasons...but I do want to see more of the US of A. But most likely not on a motorcycle.
