tire size was created by 81ltd1000
Hi all,I have an 81 kz 1000 ltd comes standard with a rear 130 90-16 and was wondering if going to 140 would be a problem. how beefy can we go before rear end mods are needed?
any comments appreciated
Rob.:huh:

If you ever get a flat tire with one of these minimum clearance installations, be warned. You won't be pushing the bike anywhere.

Hate to get a flat going 90 on the highway. I definitely wouldn't be pusing the bike, but more likely I would be pushed into the ER. Where do you guys buy your tires any how? I'm looking to get a new rear tire.
