Just after some advice on what tyres to get next as mine have about a thousand miles left in them

At the moment they are Michelin Sirac's front and rear?

Anyone know of the bridgestone/conti alternatives? or anything like these?

Also, anyone know of any good quality handguards that will suit/fit my bike?

Polisport Sharp, if you want wrap-around. Used to have a set on my TTR 250, looked quite good, and were quite hardy, I went down hard on them several times, on tarmac, gravel, mud. It was finally when my bike landed on a rock at about 35mph from about 5 feet in the air, they cracked. I then replaced them with some no-name Chinese brand ones and made some sort of hybrid between the two sets of mounting equipment. These Chinese ones had a metal insert and just bended after the first drop, I was constantly re-bending them until finally my trip to wales killed them.

Here she is with polisport ones.

And the no-brands on my MT5, they were transferred to the big bike later.

I'm after some Acerbis Rallye ones next.

Tyres, I can personally recommend the Pirelli MT90's, from my Vara 125. A friend thoroughly enjoys his Avon Distanzia'. Another friend likes TKC80's and for knobblies I love an Michelin endure comp 3 up front and AC10 on the back. Have fun! Thumbs Up
