This might be a stupidBlush question but here it is:

Can you fit Dunlop K505 on a CB?
Front 110/80-18
Rear 140/70-17

Thanks!!
I did not see year/model of your CB1100.
Do you have a 17" rear wheel?

Is your 17 inch rim a typo ???

In addition to the size mismatch, consider that the Dunlop K505 is a bias-ply tire, not a radial (the 2013 CB1100 was shipped with radials). One proper fitting OE tire is the Bridgestone BT-54 radial, about $105 front and $145 rear, delivered to your door from various online retailers. Depending on how you use the bike, you may find these to be perfectly sufficient for all-around use and wearability.
