Couple of quick questions

[Mustang]

I'm thinking of getting the whole supersprox kit.

Do I have to replace the chain guide?

only if it needs to be use your better judgement

As for Tourances, I'd like to put one on the back, but that means I've got to do one on the front as well.

why wait till you need a new front , the rear will wear out 2 :1 on the front

[YellowTigre]

Well it does have 31,000 miles on it....

I guess your right about the tire wear, but won't the handling be off if I put a different tire on the back than the front?

it's a tiger I doubt you will notice anything unless your name is Rossi

I guess you're right.

I've been looking into the inner tube question, I suppose I just order the correct size and install much like a bicycle (but with more muscle).

You mention that re-using the tubes is not a good idea. While Triumph do recommend a new tube with a new tyre, I do reuse a tube once. That is, I replace the tube every other tyre and I've never had any problems over the 63000 miles I've ridden on the bike.
As for fitting, yes, it's just the same as a bicycle but with bigger, longer levers. Of course, the easy way is to get the tyre depot to fit everything together. Most places in the UK will fit for free if you remove the wheels for them. I take the wheels down in the car. While they've got them I go home and clean up the brake calipers and normally, by the time I've done that they phone to tell me it's all ready to pick up. Sorted!

Just one point re tubes - there are some cheap ones around that puncture or split very easily. Michelin, Conti etc are much better and worth the extra couple of quid.

Never a truer word!!!

What about Bridgestone?

I found an Anakee Tire for 140.00 and a Bridgestone innertube for 11 bucks.

My last tubes were Continental and were made in India. I'm hoping the quality control is up to it.

To digress, the MOD bought some 9mm ammo made in India a few years ago. You could've spit the bullets further.......  The old SMG (sub machine gun) used part of the power from the charge to push the working parts back, eject the empty case at which point a spring pushes them forward again to engage the trigger sear. The duff ammo wouldn't push the working parts back far enough and so you could pull the trigger expecting to fire one round and empty the whole effing magazine....  which is slightly disconcerting the first time it happens :D
