Can't find my R's tire chains

Post by towerworker »

I had a set of tire chains for my R. After removing them last winter I somehow have misplaced them. We've got snow falling right now here in Virginia with an expected accumulation 12-18" so I need to find some replacements but I can't remember where I ordered my last set. If any of you winter riders could recommend a good set of motorcycle tire chains I'd really appreciate it. My last set were really great and were custom fitted to my R's particular handling characteristics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would love to shred some forest service roads with these.

Ive actually never thought about putting chains on my bike...

UNTIL NOW.

thank you very much. Now I can REALLY get the weird looks when I ride my R in the cold. Which I LOVE doing.

I would have got some use out of these this year, as we have had more snow on the ground/roads in Iowa for longer than I can remember in recent years...

Wayne, those tire chains are probably over on that shelf there, behind the radiator filters.
