I am looking at replacing my tires for my '95 K-75 and am seriously considering the Dunlop D-404's.
Wanted to get some opinions on the tire for the bike.
Thanks

I have them on my '92 K75 and also on the '02 Bonneville. They do very well in the wet, as well as on surfaces that have been grooved for repaving.
First set on the K bike, so not sure about wear, but have had them for 7,000 miles on the Bonneville, and they seem to last about as long as anything else, but no more. Chicken strips on the Bonnie are about 1/4", so they stick fairly well, but they are not sport bike tires. I have noticed that the front tire on the Bonneville feels a little wobbly in moderate turns, but once leaned over some more, stabilizes.
Will likely keep them on the K at the next change, but try something a little stickier for the Bonneville.

I have the Dunlops on my K75 and it seems to like them just fine. No handling problems at all at any speed from in town to highway. The price was right too.

I've got the Dunlops on my K75S. Like them just fine - good at speed and plenty sticky. Don't know anout mileage - just put them on a few hundred miles back.

Thanks all.
I went with the Dunlops.
I will advise how they go.
The price seemed right.
