The pre-paid Visa card they send you does have an expiration date. Before it expires you can use it to buy a gift card at Amazon or wherever that does not expire.

Duck,
Never tried bridgestone tires. What would you recommend for k75? Going to head out west with my son and granddaughter in mid May would like to get something that would last 8,000 to 10,000 miles. I normally get that out of a set of Avon roadmasters.

I run Bridgestone T32s on ALL of my Ks – K75s, K1100s and K1600GT. (I run the GT version on the K1600 since it’s a heavier bike.) Great handling tires with great mileage.

Since they’re radial tires, not bias ply like the stock tires, you need to run “off-sized” T32s: 110/80-18 on the front and 150/70-17 on the rear. (For 3-spoke wheels.)

Front: 36 psi
Rear: 40 psi

If you’ve never run radials on your K75 then here’s why you should:
