Just stumbled across this on the German GS forum.Apparently Heidenau developed them for the big trail bikes.
1200GSA
and
800 GS
has nayone got any idea if you can get them in this country???
At a price...
Heidenau 140/80H-17 Catspaw Trail Tubeless K60 (69H) - Motorcycle
...assuming that's the right one
XL650VY - TKC80's, Mivv Suono "silencer", Arrow Headers, PAIR system removed, 125 mains, Renthal 677 bars, MRA Vario Screen, Scottoiler, Honda Main Stand, Daytona Heated Grips, Sparkbright Charge Monitor
Or you could try here -
moto-tyres.co.uk - Details: Heidenau K 60 140/80 -17 TL 69H M/C
£75.40 including P&P.
Again, assuming it is the correct one.
Brrrmm - '04 XL650V Transalp in Silver
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

Last time I looked you couldn't get the right section for the ADV rear. People who I know have tried them and said they're excellent.
The front on mine (same as the one on the 800GS shown) wore out quite uniformly accross the tread after 6k but the rear still has about 6mm tread in the middle and more on the edges
The fronts on the pictures on the 1200GS show the front is the same tread pattern as the rear like they do with the TKCs so not sure how the wear rate would differ
They are good hardwaring tyres and stiff sidewalls so feel like a road tyre but are a bit skittish in the wet if you let the heat out.
