Tire Options for our CB1100

[Nortoon_imp]

The nail that punctured the rear tire on my CB500XA had no head left when I was made aware that the tire was flat. I guess it was sanded away by the asphalt as I rode. I consider myself lucky because I was riding rather enthusiastically before that rest stop.

Fortunately there was a gas station next door. I pumped the tire back up and road home cautiously on quiet back roads. There was still air in the tire when I brought it to my Honda dealer a couple of days later. Nobody I asked including the dealer was willing to repair the tire, so I bought a new one.

Now at most rest stops I spin the rear tire with my foot to see if anything is stuck in the treads. Small stones are removed with the ignition key.
