Not in immediate need (soliciting comments) 
However, I am shopping at Chapparal.
http://www.chaparral-racing.com/Chaparral/assets/html/homepage.asp
I add: I have dealt with Chapparal (CA Based) for a number of transactions and have been well satisfied. They are a big operation and seem knowledgable. I have generally researched and then called in to ask questions (confirm size availability, etc.) and do the order by phone. Free shipping on orders over $100.
Item 330-1226 is Bridgestone Hoop BO3-G (OEM) 120 80-14 S Rated (112MPH) at $80.88
Item 369-874284 is SHINKO SR567 120 80 14 S Rated (112MPH) at $45.88
Item 190-9723 is Michelin City Grip 120 70 (note 70 ratio) 14 at $55.88
If I calculate correctly-Ratio Diff of 10% = 0.1 X 120 MM = 1.2CM each sidewall = 2.4CM less diameter total (about 1 inch)
Item xxxxx is Michelin Pilot SC Front (Inspired by Fuill Pilot Sport -They say, but tread shown does not look anything like a Full Pilot Sport Bike Tire that is W rated and designed for extreme lean anggles). It is listed as avaailable in 120 80 14 (apparently not in stock as you cannot select that size). You can select a 110 90 13 PRICED AT $57.88. So, do not know what a 120 80 14 would cost or even if you can get it (would have to call Chapparal). IT LOOKS LIKE A WINNER if available and reasonable (equal to or lsess than nteh Bridgestone OEM at $80.88)
