Hi,
I'm a complete newbie to the motorcycle world & bought a 1980 xs400 (2A2) back in October last year...now spring has arrived I am rather hurriedly trying to get the bike back in 1 piece so that I can begin to enjoy life on 2 wheels.
Now I am trying to decide which tires to get for the stock mag wheels
front 1.85 x 18
rear 2.15 x 18
I have pretty much decided on either Avon AM26 roadriders or the Bridgestone BT45's but would like to go up in size if possible.
I'm not planning on using the stock fenders (mudguards) or chain guard any more so would these sizes fit OK?
front 100/90 x 18
rear 120/90 x 18
or should I stick with the tried & tested
90/90 x 18
110/90 x 18
I have been searching a the forum but just seem to confuse myself even more...
Thanks for your advice.
Chris.
