International shipping always a killer. I wonder if Canadian FJR has any friends....... I mean, near me that might be travelling east....... or can see what shipping is here to there.

I have a Riken Raptor on the way.

My existing Exalto is about toast....The Riken Raptor the goto tire now?

Of the 3 I tried- General G-Max AS-03, Michelin Exalto and Riken Raptor- I think the Raptor was the best all-round of the 3. I base that on my interstate, US Hwy, twisties, and improved National Forest unpaved roads. The AS-03 was and the Raptor is awe inspiring in the wet. I rode the Raptor in 2 hurricanes in northern Virginia and 3-4" of standing water didn't bother it at all.

If you liked the Exalto I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Raptor.

Great!!

I'll get one ordered soon as I'd rather have it here laying around before it's actually needed.

Thanks!!

Riken installed last night. The AS-03 wasn’t too bad to remove but the Riken was a bear to mount. Finally got it.

All balanced and ready for install.

Wasn't it, eh. I had a spare rim and showed up at the northern Virginia Tech day with it and a Rikken. It looked like 5 monkeys and a football! It put a pretty good ass whoopin' on all of us.
