750 twin rear tire size? was created by dnestell
i have a 78 kz650c and just got a set of spoke wheels off a 77 kz750 twin to put on it from a member. i am putting a gs1100 swingarm on my bike and was wondering what size tire is safe on the stock 750 rims? i want to go as big as possible since the gs swingarm allows me some extra room. i may also want to go bigger on the front so if anyone has info i would appreciate it thanks.

Safe? I don't know about that.... ;)

I run a 130 on the back of my twin's spoked wheel. It looks like it's pushing the size limit. The tire doesn't seem to have the nice form that it prolly should on a correct sized rim... oh well...

Yeah to go larger on the 750 wheel, you'll need to swap out the rim. Buchanan's has them and spoke kits also.
