I need tires, oddball size NGC
« on: August 09, 2022, 04:49:50 PM »
Honda 1975 xl100k1 size on it now are 2.75-19 f and 3.50-17 rear.
I can’t seem to find a matching pair with these or close to these sizes.
I really like the Shinko 705 but at this point I’ll take whatever I can find in a matched pair if possible.
Any ideas?
I know there was just a tire thread going but I can’t seem to find it now. Thanks.

It fired up with about 10 kicks after sitting at least a few years.





The red paint is not stock and has to go.. I’ll just rattle can it..gloss black? Legato green? Flat tan? Suggestions?

Nice little XL foto. Lower bars would be cool, Red looks good on a Honda, or how about a paint job like the old Elsinores, silver black and green! :thumb:

ha, LOL.. I just pulled that out of memory from the big discussion elsewhere and I wasn’t paying much attention.

that could work, in my mind red is for Ducati race bikes. And yeah lower bars will probably happen.

I could go orange to match my other Honda I’ve owned for 50 years.
