No. Absolutely not. I do not want any of that aftermarket shit. If I
wanted a cigarette lighter and a CB and a stereo I would have bought a Gold
Wing. I want dead showroom stock. Anything I think I need I will put in a
backpack. Anything that does not go in a backpack I do not need.

Replace them with Dunlop 607. Filters, fluids, and tires are wear items and
are allowed to be replaced.
