... My front is a mm90 x H19 as well. (Dunlop K491) Low profile tires weren't made back in those days. I check my speedometer by comparing the odometer to the...
... Yeah, it looks like you've got the right gages. Nice looking bike and I like your picture gallery too! Pretty neat. I call those headlight brackets fork...
... I put a new folder in our "files" section with some of the manual pages on carburetors. Here are my two cents worth. 1. Make sure your air filter is...
... Hmm, the previous owner said there were special low profile tires for this bike when it came out. I'm not sure how accure this information is. However, I...
