bikes for short people

Geez some people have short memories Standard wheel size combo for
most of the late 80s sportsbikes, no ?

Yeah SZR660, single cylinder sports bike, half faired, sweet little bit
of kit, nearly bought one when I bought the TRX except for the lack of HP.

Not in 100/90-16 and 130/90-18 they aren't!

OK small capacity sports bikes

Besides, I seem to recall bikes like the GPZ had rather narrow (140
width 18's ?). The review I read yesterday on the ZZR11 (1990) because
of the other thread commented on the "massive" 170 section rear tyre...

(aren't they the same sizes as the GPX - paging BTH)

 

If we're talking GPX250/GPz250, then they're 100/90-16 and 130/90-16
front and rear.

I think that the GPz750/GPz900 had 16" front and 18" rear, and by
today's standards both were quite narrow.

Incidentally, it's *so* nice to be riding with the same tyre profile at
both ends of the bike, after several months of 100/90-16 at the front
and 130/80-16 at the back! Now that I've fixed that, fitted a new pair
of non-pitted forks ($70 from e-bay) and done some fairing repairs, I
just have to get the overheating issue sorted and The Jackal should be
good for another 100,000km. ;-)

Gpz900r & Gpx750r both had similar tyres.
Same wheels actually.

110/90/16 on the front
130/80/18 on the rear.

Incidentaly these are the same profiles that Yamaha's FZ750 ran although
most changed them to a 140/70/18 rear when they became available. Also
120/80/16 Front was a popular conversion

 

How about 80/100-16 and 90/90-18 (CBX250),or 100/90-16 and 110/90-18
(VF400)?

You should have told me you wanted fork sliders for a GPX. I have a pair of
them sitting in the garage doing nothing!

 

2fitty or 7fitty?

Need a pair of 7fitty ones

 

Oh well, that's how these things happen, eh?

Too Fiddly.

Unless you're talking GPZ, in which case, let me know.

"Guildford Kawasaki" may be able to help. <grin>
