I've got about 5000 miles on a set of the Shinko 804/805s. They are great tires. Roll nice on the pavement and do great in the dirt.
Only word of warning is that by having the 130/80-17 rear tire which is larger than the stock AND having the progressive 465 rear shock it is VERY easy to bottom the tire out on the underside of the wheel well which is also the back side of the air box. Some have worn holes through which is obviously very bad. In my case I took some sheet metal and formed it to the shape of the wheel well and used gorilla glue to hold it in place. Works great and has lasted. I can see shine on where it hits occasionally.
