Thanks for that, I'll see about calling them tomorrow then. Mind telling me how much they charged you to ship them over to the Netherlands? Just so I'm prepared for the sticker shock...

I am a lucky Guy:
I am in the Meat business importing Meat out of.........Ireland and Northern Ireland into Holland
one of my relations picked them up and put them on the Truck to Holland.

Maybe you should do a Group buy.....so they can send them over by Boat....
1: Probably you will have them faster and cheaper, just a thought.

I have no idea how lonh you Guys have to wait.

I do know they are quit heavy. I bought two sets.
 
Well, we'll see. There are some web stores in the UK that ship at quite reasonable rates, I'll ask the one I asked a month and a half ago and see if they can check availability again.

I should also call the Hurst company just for info on avalibility and transport costs.
I you need help let me know... Ask for Micheal Ross if you call to Hurst, he is the Guy who arranged the Tires.
 
Ok. I'm digging the whitewall! You don't even notice the rear is black wall unless you are looking for it.

JMHO - But just one white wall looks out of balance and I noticed it missing from the rear right off.
White walls are like Doritos - Just one don't get it done.
 
Just one does lighten the front; I mean, it's a matter of taste, I'm sure many riders like the solid look of the 16-inch front with black walls, but I think it looks kind of dumpy, and the whitewalls really spruce things up.

I'd probably get a rear whitewall as well though (easy choice for now since I have to replace both anyway). Assuming I can get some of those Avon Radials... they're thin on the ground, even the Belfast guy says he'll have to check, plus they can't really arrange shipping and the like as they're not set up for online ordering. I've been badgering my local guy too to get some, and an online store in the UK...

Looks like I'll probably be joining you with front-only whitewall, seems to be impossible to get the rear. A local shop has found the front, but looks like I'll be buying a black Cobra to complement it for this year. It sucks but I have to get some tires on the bike. This is really bumming me the hell out, been looking for these for months now. Oh well.
