wait so for the rear i should order the next size up because at max psi its the size of the tire. am i right on that one?

Yeah that was a typo lol so the fronts good. Just one size bigger in the rear because it meets the size of the tire I have. The tire itself is 4.60-s16

Is there a trick I should know about the size gor tube ordering? Getting a tr-4 valve type for both wheels front tube is 2.75-19, 3.60-18 and the rear is 4.00-s16, 4.60-s16. They are the irc tubes off of bike bandit.

Thanks Chris. You just saved me a world of bs with shipping and returning lol.

So my front tire is tubbed and my rear tire isnt... should I just order a tube for the rear and go with that setup instead? I hear tubed is safer anyways as far as flats go. And they are the original rims so I know I could throw a tubless on the front if I wanted too. Thoughts?

Im on the spoked wheels with the drum brakes.

Quick question. My tires are tubeless right? Want to be positive before I order my new set. 82 yamaha heritage special sj model. Sohc.

Fuck yeah. Lol thank you! Im gunna look in to a set of tires and that now.

My bike is sohc

So if I got that I would go with the 25-0019? And it wouldnt cause any issues with fitting a slightly larger tire on the front?

I had my forks rebuilt with a bit stiffer springs. To be able to manage the handling issue that not running the fender will cause. If thats not enough ill figure out a brace. So I could go with a 90/90 or a 3.25 and not have any major issues.

So I have a few questions. My bike is an 82 heritage special sj. Front tire is 3.00-18 and my rear is a 4/60 s16. I know that the rear translates to a 120/90 s16 but im not sure if the front is 90/90 18 or if I can use a 3.25-18 and have that fit properly with no rubbing. I am keeping the front...

So for fork gaitors should I be looking for a 34mm at the top or 33mm. Dont want to have to deal with any slipping down stuff.

33x46x10.5 Would these ones fit? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=350987356987&alt=web

shit i think they were 34. i ordered from bike bandit and mikexs the ones that said they were for my bike but i guess i have 33mm. nice. that could be the problem lol where did you order your sets from? :banghead:

Anyone got any tips on getting the seals down into the lower part of the forks. Tried working it around and down in with plenty lube and a decent sized sockets to tap the outer ring in. Its being a bitch lol

Thank you for that input. Thats how im starting to feel about it honestly. Im have a lot of fun learning about all of this bike and the processes of re building it. It will be functional. And looks will be a side product of that.

Hey by any chance does anyone know the recommended amount of oil to put back into these forks? The stock ones with all internals the same. 82 xs400 heritage special. And also what oil to use? Ive looked and couldnt find the amount or type for mine. Or is it universal for bike size and shock type...

So from the sound of this than I have to figure out a different for set up. For both not wanting to run that ugly front fender and not encure any issues with running a slighty bigger front tire.

i am looking for a new set of tires(front and back) and i want to go with a wider tire in the front and only slight more wide in the rear on the stock spoke wheels my bike came on. i have no idea where to look online and am a little lost on figuring out how i would go about finding the width. im...
