I used  those "conti twins" on mine, and they seemed to work ok, but for the center of the rear seems to wear  fast, but maybe that's just the way I ride it.

Metzler  Lasertec 3.25 - 19 M/C 54H TL  Front, 
Metzler Lasertec 4.00 - 18 M/C 64V TL rear, for aggressive canyon carving.
 Or,  ME-77 4.00 - 18 M/C 64H TL  for longer wear.

Really should have searched the forum before asking, though.

I ordered a set of Bridgestone S11 Spitfires for my 74 CB750 and I read alot of good things about them, so I'll see how they turn out. :) If cost is a concern for you, the bridgestones are moderately priced and Ive heard that they last a long time.
