oh, on the parts guy recommendation I am going to try the Dunlop Qualifiers. He said he has had two sets on his sport bike and been happy with them. 130 for the rear and 70 for the front IIRC. The Pilot Powers were about $30 more for the set.
Dave- do you have the tools to put a chain on? They want $90 for labor alone to install it. I figured they would cut me a break since the tires are already going to be off.

I have to borrow a chain press when I need one, sorry. I used a clip master (the RK was a good one, side plate was still a press fit) on my 900 and no issues. I'll likely catch some flak here for that, but reality is the clip style work just fine at the HP the bike makes.
You do not need much for tools if you use the clip. Cut the old one off with a Hacksaw, change sprockets and good to go.
I can assist if you need it. I have everything but the chain press and rivet tool. Never got around to buying one. I could likely go fetch my buddy's if you really want the riveted link.
Fri and Sat I am busy, and I plan to be severely hung over on Sunday!
