Best tire for a Honda GL1100
I got a leak in my rear tire so I put on a set of these front and back. I must say these are the best tires for my bike! Great handling, excellent wet traction, and awesome load rating.
I rode thru a hard downpour and went thru a puddle so deep that the wake kicked my feet off the pegs but yet I did not lose traction. Not even a little bit! (Not that I reccomend doing it on purpose) I also just finished a 6600km bike trip in the states with 100lbs of gear for a total of nearly 11,000km on these tires and they have given me no issues and very little wear! Highly recommend these!

Great value tires for my 1999 Road King
I bought a pair of Kenda Kruz K673 tires for my 1999 HD FLHRCI to replace some aging Dunlop D402's. The Kenda's are not available in a white wall option, but as I'm commuting, I'm not that fussed about WW tires.
So far so good. My commute seems to have been mostly in the wet so far this year and on a mix of mostly rough city streets with many irregularities from heavy truck traffic - either under repair or in disrepair, basically, with about a third of the route on faster stretches.
The handling of the RK seems much improved so far. The twitchiness on road irregularities is gone, and the bike seems super stable with no head shake. (The D402's were fairly worn out in fairness.) Wet and dry the grip seems great. Long term wear is to be determined, but after 1500km's or so, I note no noticeable wear.
I'm running tire pressures as per the HD handbook recommendation. I'm 218lbs in weight. We'll see how they go for distance. Great value so far!

Great price, great value.
Bought both Kenda Kruz front & rear tires for my V-Star 1100. I've been hearing positive comments on these tires for quite awhile. After about a thousand klicks or so
I'm impressed. Wet weather tractions is great and I've never felt the bike isn't under control at any time. The bike feels secure under hard cornering and always feels well planted on the pavement. Very little wear and tear on these tires so far.
To sum up I would buy these for my V-Star and would recommend the Kruze 673's.

Excellent tire for a reasonable price.
This is a copy of the review I wrote for the Kenda Kruz rear tire.
Tires a such a pain to buy. There are so many options and the only way to research a decision is by reading purely subjective reviews. I poured over hundreds of reviews before choosing the Kenda Kruz for my 1982 Honda CB900C.
These are so much better, in every aspect, than the Dunlops I replaced. I have about 5000km on these and can hardly see any wear. I have ridden them in the heat, wet, cold...and even so cold it was snowing...and they never lose their composure.
With these tires, my ride feels like a whole new bike. It's more stable, smooth and predictable. It doesn't weave on uneven ground as much. They inspire confidence at high speed on the highway or dodging traffic around town.
All of this AND the bonus of a very reasonable price.
Really, I can't say enough about how impressed I am with these tires and I confidently recommend them. You won't be disappointed.

I have rode for several months with this tire. So for it is showing good signs of long tread life. It can be a bit slippery on a wet road though. It’s not the best option for wet road conditions but still a decent tire

Very good tire, minimal weight to balance. Tracks well over tar snakes etc. Great price, quick shipping. Go for it!

Great tires!
Wasn’t sure if these would be good or not because of the price but guess what? They’re great. Bike grips good and rides smooth. Very happy with them so far.
Don’t know about how long they’ll last but so far, so good.

New tire ! A+
So, I just put 500 Klicks on the bike in various conditions, including solo and with passenger as well as wet & dry roads, city, hwy and rural roads. Im not going to get technical about the tire. I ride a 05 Honda VTX 1300. I like the tire so far.

Questions
When I click on this tire and add it to my cart, the thread is totally different. It gives me the thread from the rear tire, not the front tire.
Yeah, CM should fix this link error. Will not effect the tire you are ordering though.

Hey guys and gals. I'm looking at buying the K673 front tire but I am unsure of which tube I would need to purchase with it. Can anyone help me with this please?
The correctly sized inner tube will be the size stated on your motorcycle’s tire. So check out the sidewall of your tire, note the size (120/70/19 for example) and then find an inner tube of that size. It’s that simple.

How do these tires handle gravel roads?
They will handle small gravel at low speeds fine. Please note that these remain cruiser tires with a pretty large flat center contact patch.
