Depends. Two things wear out tires -- mileage and dry rot.
If tread's good, keep riding. But keep an eye on sidewalls for tell-
tale indications of dry rot (surface cracking), caused by 1) lack of
use. Rubber is composed of compounds that require exercise. They're
meant to flex. If they
I like the Battery Tender Plus. It's a smart charger in that it
reads the battery condition and applies just enuf charge to maintain
optimum condition.
The Jr. is a trickle charger and supplies constant current all the
time regardless of battery condition.

CSRs are still intended for Halogen lights, but you can get upped
wattage and color corrected halogens these days that will very
effectively light up the road ahead of you without blinding oncoming
traffic (or the poor folks you're following).
An HID lamp needs what is known as a projector

I imagine that the family trip next summer would qualify, but I think we

Joey my parts bike is a '79 CM400A. Side by side with my '82 450 the
frames appear to be identical. That thing oughta mount on the front
motor mount which is definitely the same between the two models. If

Looks good, not far away, but I wouldn't dish out $1500 for it as a starting

NADA and other guides are putting an '85 450 @ $1500 for a perfect bike,
$1000 for very good, which is where this one
