Tell him to put them on his bike From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of blackbird Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2016 12:44 PM To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1984 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk
Yeah, I told him I don't think the tires are good anymore. He kept insisting they were. It's not like I have any objections buying new tires from him. I just wonder why he wouldn't even cross his mind it's unsafe! On Thursday, 2 June 2016 15:19:57 UTC-4, Kyle Munz wrote: I don't think you can hold the dealer or salesman accountable for it. As a buyer it's your responsibility to assume the salesman will tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear to buy the object he's selling. That said, I would replace the tires immediately. Whether they appear to be in good condition or not I wouldn't take a chance on something so essential to keeping the shiny side up. -Kyle On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 2:04 PM, Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> wrote: I would not trust tires even ten years old, let alone twenty!

Is it wrong for a dealer to claim 20+ year old tires, possibly 30 year old tires, to be in good condition because it had been stored in a shed with a cover? The salesman claims I can still get 2 seasons out of them. He says the tires never saw the sun and therefore has no cracks on the walls and that there is quite a lot of threading left. The bike has less than 4200mi on them. But, 30 year old tires..... i'm sure there is some dry-rot and the composition of the tires have degraded even though there are no signs of cracking....

I found myself scared to get low in the turns, but started building the trust slowly. Now I scrape my pegs. The pegs are in a perfect spot for the DS setup, in my opinion. Just watch those front fork seals. Mine cost a pretty penny after two seasons of trail/highway riding. They were "the worst" my mechanic had ever seen. He didn't comment on all of my other mods---not exactly mechanic approved workmanship, but gets the job done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
