fred,
hadn't thought about the price difference between bias and radials, but you are right. i've usually run the bias because of the whitewalls. since i'm not an aggressive/bad weather rider, really can't tell much difference, but i'm sure there is.
on the 1500 site, one guy even went so far as to have whitewalls vulcanized on a darkside tire. don't know how that worked out, but it looked good in the beginning.

hey alan, i just put a fake air cleaner cover on my aero...i sorta like it! i'm an old timer from the '50s and love that chrome....no plastic or carbon fiber here!image
