The power of social media... well... it's a start! YouTube famous!

We get a lot of phone calls from people seeking tyres, which is great because we sell tyres....

Sometimes it's a nice easy call, what do you want, there it is, thank you, bye!
Other time's a bit more challenging tracking down difficult sizes, hard to find tyres or bikes that need something specific.

I took a call was one of those that needs that little extra thought... but luckily.. the customer had already got a solution, which he found on a Youtube video where a chap was rebuilding an early GSXR1100

.... and it turned out that I'd done this homework previously, and our customer was simply going off the same advice that I had given to the chap who unbeknownst to us at the time has his own YouTube channel

... and furthermore, this chap had kindly given us a shout out and appreciated our good work.
Now we know he exists and even got us an extra sale, it's only fair that we try and send a bit of traffic his way...

Please take a moment to peruse his channel, maybe there will be some advice that can aid you for one of your builds, take a peek!

If you have a GSXR1100 G or H and are struggling to find rubber, then know this... rear tyres in size 150/70/18 then simply switch on up to a 160/60/18 rear... and yes it is true that you won't find any sports tyres in that size but rest assured that a modern sports touring tyre will outperform a sports tyre from the era of the early GSXR, they'll be all the tyre you'll need.
