I can't say too much about car salesman, the Treasurer works for one of the local dealers - not holden or ford - the other Australian car manufacturer......

I wouldn't worry to much Mick, there was a lot more foot in mouth disease when she worked for the HD dealer......

You need to ask the War Minister for a new camera for Christmas though.

Mick, is that one of them shinkos on the front??????

No Mick it is a Meztler, its ok I guess, will do till its worn out, then yes a shinko 005 will be gracing the front, I just put a shinko 190/50/17 on the rerar yesterday, already I can honestly say it shytes all over the bridgestone 020 that was on it. Today was a good day, fitted the new Hel braided lines, I've heard about how good they are blah blah blah. But I shyte you not, the difference is chalk and cheese and it's all good. Hey and they look cool too. Just got back from the two wheel torque tv show, where the Rex featured in an OCD ( shop where I work, yes I know that was a shameless plug

) streeetfighter segment. After 3 days of spit and polish its almost a shame to ride it, bullshyte, it will be grubby by the weekend.

The reason I ask, is that the B12 doesn't like front tyres with a centre groove, sends the front end wobbling and is less than confidence inspiring.

Does the Shinko 005 have the centre groove or is it more like the Metzler M1.

Oh, and us bushies don't get the Torque TV show, bugger

, must be a Melbourne thing.

Speaking of washing the bike, I must remember to do mine before Saturday. Yeah, it's Toy Run time again, only this year I'm not decorating the bike......well maybe just a little...

I know what your saying Mick.
The Fj 12 suffered the same, and for a matter of fact so does the B6.
And to answer your question the shinko fronts 009 and 005 do not have a center rib, or groove for the want of a better word.
I have only used the 005 on the front.
However I dont mind the 009 on the rear of the B6, in fact the 009 rear i'm removing from the B6 soon is the one I was bedding in when we meet up for a blast on gods road. The reason I've gone the 005 on the rear of the Rex is, customer feed back on bikes up and beyond 130 rear wheel Horse power, and bucket loads of grunt, have noted if the 009 is not as grippy and so it should be, being a harder compound, and when tested will cut loose under extreme riding, like who here would do that

. But having said that, you have seen for yourself the B6 in action, and the drive I was getting out of corners, mind you it is 30 hp short.
