RE: larger rear tire

(12-03-2013, 11:35 AM)The ferret_imp Wrote: To the best of my knowledge, no one on this board has even replaced a rear tire yet, much less tried one any larger. As with anything else there will be disagreement on whether the stock rim will even accept anything larger as most tire mfgs don't recommend using anything wider on certain width rims, but some owners think they know better and will do it anyway. It has been discussed on this board and some feel it could handle a 150 width tire. I don't believe anyone has suggested going as large as a 180.

My 1999 Magna VF750 came with a 120mm rear tire, and I installed a 150mm which was/is the widest tire the OEM rim could take safely. this set-up never gave me any trouble and it looks fantastic.
I think the CB1100 would look better with a 150mm tire because it is a wide bike with that wide engine block and it is asking for a wider tire IMHO. cheers.
