Dual Sport Shinko E705 on GPZ900R Sportsbike


Fitted Shinko E705 dual-sport tyres on the GPZ. The handling felt 'interesting' at first. I felt like someone had installed a gimbal on the forks. But by 2 hours and halfway to Reefton it felt normal/great!

Front: Shinko E705 150/70-H18 (1507018)--$175
Rear: Shinko E705 120/70-17 (1207017)---$155

I fitted them for longetivity as they have very deep thread (1cm). My last Dunlop Tyres only lasted 3,500km on this heavy bike.

How I got my club rego

1) Join CCJMC here. A well-organised club and great members
http://ccjmc.net/members/

2) Organise RWC.
I went to BikeCraft Mordialloc (53 Governor Rd, Mordialloc VIC 3195)

3) Fill in the paperwork from Vicroads
https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/regi...-a-club-permit

For this you need to organise signature from Club official. To do this you need to login to CCJMC website (once a member) and book inspection.

4) Get fully comp insurance from RACV. You need to phone as there is none on the website regarding this. Mention it's a club bike and they'll redirect you to a department. I got mine insured for $5k agreed value for a mint $91/year :)
