Default xj900rk needing tires

ive got an 83 (k) yamaha (xj) 900 seca (r)...

it needs tires...

while not 'top of the line', whats the general consensus on Kenda (k657)? i can get a set for about $200 installed (wheels on bike) vs $300 for Bridgestone BT-45...

the bridgestones and the oem were V rated where as the kendas are only H rated. i dont push my bikes and im not sure the last time i ran over 75mph so the speed rating is not that important. im concerned with workmanship and overall quality...

thanks
