I've searched the forum a bit and can't seem to find the answer to my tire questions.....
My '78 SOCH CB750 has Conti tires Front is 3.50 / 19 and rear is 4.50/17
1) I do not find a whole lot of selection in these sizes from The MC Superstore and Bike Bandit. Most I did find are "Tubeless" I have spoked wheels so I don't think that tubeless will work. Can I run a tube in a "tubeless" tire?
2) I think Id like to go a bit wider in the rear......metric conversion to a "130/90" OK maybe even a 140?
3) I'd really like the two rims to be closer in size. ( true cafe looks in my mind is two rims same diameter, although there is a 2" difference in the CB's rim size it does not appear to the eye to be THAT different) What would my options be to bring the front rim down to a 17" or an 18"...........how would that effect the handling?
As always input appreciated!
