Go to a Yamaha or Honda dealership. I bought a set of Shinko's for $280 new. That included mounting and balancing.

Make sure you get the Shinko Advance or else you will have a hard time with the Shinko Stealths

Go to myspace and look up airforceflyboy1@yahoo.com. Go under my bike album and you will see what the Shinko Advance looks like.

Yeah, I know that the Stealths are the bad ass tires for the track, and so are the Advances, but they are more for touring than track.
