2 part question-Monoshock airhead tires

1. What Metzler tires work best with these bikes? The rear Metz. on my bike is NLA.
2. Do all modern cycle shops have the ability to change tire on rear wheel and balance assembly (flange mount ,no bearings) without inflicting damage
thanks,Ed

Re: 1981 Paris Dakar R80GS - what's a fair price?

A production 1981?
This is not a production GSPD,this is an earlier bike with a kit,makes a difference gents.Probably few complete bikes were produced 1985ish(anyone have a figure?)
