I replaced my tires with Dunlop Elite III's. I forgot to ask to show me the wear bars. I can't find them.

What do they look like or a url that has a picture please?

Thank You

Use them till the profile goes flat.

All you have to do is roll the bike around and look every foot or so for them. They should be about midway between the center and edge of the tread.
Or as JohnJ says, use 'em til the profile is flat and replace 'em. You should get (with moderate riding) around 8-10K out of the rear on that, and rears always go first unless something is maladjusted with the front.

I used Dunlop Elite II rear tires on my four old 400-750cc Hondas and got 25-30k miles out of them. Used them until I traded my 85 NH 650 in on a 97 GS500 that wanted to go around corners faster than those touring tires wanted to.
