Re: tire rotation- x or rf to rb ??
Spencer,
I have had the Agilis for about 44,000 miles and have rotated them at least

Re: tire rotation- x or rf to rb ??

Re: MV side windows 4 EVCs ?
I think my 87 Westy had better air flow than my 2000 EVC. It looks like the
sliding door window could be replaced with the window that fits the rear

Re: Tires AGAIN - need the quick and dirty
If ride comfort and noise are your primary concern, go with the
Michelin. If you would like greater ground clearance get the

They used Continentals on the 97 Rialtas. I met an owner who used them for
38,000 miles and they were replacing them, free, because of excess wear!
Pretty good service. The owner was from
