Really don't want to go chopping wires - the bikes only 3 days Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:03:03 GMT JC Matsuura http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5686 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5686 My next set of tires will most likely be a Sport Touring comp.

Do some like alpina because it allows use of tubless tires and why is Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:57:40 GMT RonB http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5684 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5684 Kent, I've recently gone through the same for my Sport1000.

So.... for the tubes, Ducati will be the only supply? I have tried parts Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:46:28 GMT ma2ra2005 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5682 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5682 Yes Tubes will be harder to find and usually needs to be ordered in. If you have the money you may want to eventually consider getting Alpina Tubeless Spoked Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:41:20 GMT kent1287 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5681 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5681 I took my bike to the local Ducati dealer, they tooks few pictures of the spokes and send emails to Ducati in the end of Dec.

But If you ride more like a touring bike and very little twisties the center will wear out quickly. You mat want to consider a sport touring Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:24:33 GMT kent1287 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5678 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ducati-sportclassic/message/5678 I am going to change out the stock tires on my Paul Smart 1000 LE, I am thinking about Michelin Pilot POWER 2CT.
