damn, u can tell.. Embarrassed

thats actually pretty tasty looking... first thing i'd do if i had one though, is get some decent mirrors and put the indicators back where they belong Wink

looks like they forgot to take the tyre warmers off! Wink

i do like the way the yellow is an exact match for the bike colour but i agree with you on the mirrors is it me or have the sports bikes of today have all gone tourer with having the indicator in the mirrors!!
they just look wrong being up there in mid air like that Confused
and yes some proper mirrors where you can see more than just the tips of the elbows Wink

I expect they are Tomahawk remoulds, I tried the black one's twice. First set were ok, second rear tore. Had a chat to a racer and he said he has seen two of the tyres explode on the track. Also seem to need more weight to balance, and a tyre fitter said that the rubber quality is cr*p.

Is that colour just on the surface or all the way through the rubber?

Tomohawk tyres sponsor the 444 Stunt Rider crew. They are cheap remoulds, the colour goes all the way through.

I have been reliably informed that the tyres are no good on a track whatsoever but can be used on the road although they are not much good there either.
