Thanks to all who gave advise/opinions on my tire issue...But, all is going to work out fine. My neighbor told me of a local guy, about 10 minutes from my house who does all type of bike repairs including tires..He rides a Goldwing and is very familiar with the F6B..Ordered both front and rear new Dunlop E-4's and will have them put on in a couple days when the tires arrive.....Ride safe and thanks again for the responses...
