I'm running those on my '76 KZ900. Been entirely happy with them. The grip is great.

Yeah I'm putting them on a 78'LTD. Here's the link:

search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R...+spitfire&category0=

I just put Bridgestone spitfire in the search category and it came up. $77 for the back and $62 for the front then you have to add shipping.

I think the RWL's look good on an LTD because the bike has a cruiser look. My Bridgstones aren't RWLs, but I colored in the letters once to see how they'd look.
I was going to switch to RWLs last year, but I got a flat, and the shop only had blackwall Bridgstones, and no Dunlop Qualifiers. So, I'll have to wear these tires out before I get a new set.
Here's a pic of the blackwall Spitfires with painted in letters.
BTW, the paint will wear off in about two weeks.
