Dunlop D208 sale
at Cycle Gear for $160/set. They have been replaced by the Qualifiers, but I can't say I can notice the difference on the street.

I run the 208's on my VFR. Not a bad tire for the price.

Dammit, where were you a week ago? I just spent about $230 on D205s for my '99 Katana due to a punctured rear tire!
Yes, you can still find D205s, but you have to look. Ditto on D208s. A problem I've found with both the D208 and the Qualifier is they don't make 'em in a 150/70/17, which is the spec rear size on a Kat. I don't know why they ever got away from the D205s personally - great tires. I think the D208 was supposed to be a little better in water or something, but it never rains here and I think I've only ridden in rain twice - and carefully. Normally I just drive or wait it out if it ever does rain. *sigh*

There are two different D208's, I think. I had em on my 96 VFR and they were great for street riding.
