        good luck
        I would check the production dates on those Z1's if I where you, I know they have been out of production for a few years now.
        The Conti's I didn't care for myself.
        As for where to buy, I got my last few sets from Jake Wilson.com.

                I wouldn't put Shinkos on anything heavier than a moped.

                    Because he has never run them. The only anti-Shinko people I have met, have never ridden a set.

                      Thank you. Everyone around were I live run shinko. If u call a shop that more than likely what they offer. But I live like 15-20 from a dragway.I just would like to know what people who run them think. And I know there cheap but if they do the job good why pay more?

                        So are you looking for street, track or drag strip tires?

                              I put on Q2's on my Kat 750. It's going to be very hard for me to step down from them. I was thinking about trying some Michelin Pilot 3's, I dunno though.
