road pilot 3 tire - Jim_imp - 01-05-2017
Does Michelin make a 19 inch road pilot 3 front tire?

Jim, check out [url=http://motorcycle.michelinman.com/US/en/tires/products/pilot-road-3.html]this page. About half way down there's a list of the sizes available for PR3s. If you want a 19 inch on, it probably isn't for the CB1100. However, member have fitted them using the standard size front (110/80) and the slightly wider 160/60 on the rear.

The front wheel is same width but 19" diameter. The rear wheel is still 18" diameter, but 4.25" width instead of 3.75. Will use 160/60 on rear- hoping to use 110/19 on front. Hence the question regarding 19" Road Pilot 3.
Have also lengthened the rear swing arm by 3/4". All this because the stock rear wheel just looked too puny and weak- like the bike was born premature. Going for a bigger bike look.
Obviously I have too much time on my hands

Will post when I have it done. Need to find a front tire fist. Also, I fabricated a new chain guard and it is off to the plater right now
