That 130/80 18 size front tire will not work on an 87. The 2.15 front rim is far too narrow for that tire.
Excellent point.
I have noticed turbulence wobbles past 60, and suspension wobbles past 80.
The last road bike I had was a 90's XS1100 Special, had jetted carbs, K&N air filters, and 2- 2in1 headers. It buried the speedo at 160 with lots of throttle left.
I'm afraid to take to C10 past 115 with all the turbulence and suspension mush.
The 87 was only the 2nd year of the run. Technology has advanced since then.
Would a different rim to hold a wider tire be a performance and stability upgrade?
I plan on taking it to a shop for shock service, but don't really trust a guy on commission to be totally honest.
What have you guys found to be the best tire width/height combinations?
Thanks again for all your reply's.
There's no better way to figure out the best set up than tossing ideas around with people that have already been there and done that.
