advice on tires (1978 KZ 400)
24 Jan 2007 18:16
Hi All...
well, my forks are almost done (i think they came out pretty darn good! - thanks - pics soon)...
I'm now going to move onto replacing the tires...
i'm looking for a good (but reasonably priced) option...
this is a project bike and i have no idea if it will EVER see the road again (but i remain hopeful)...
suggestions?
vendors?
thanks..

The Barracuda is a good alround tire for these bikes if you can run them tubeless. I've used one for a good many years on my 80 750/4 with all sorts of riding on them. No tire is gona wear well tho if you dont keep your air pressure in the right place. But if you do , your gonna do ok with one of theses. Not a bad tire for not a lot of change.

I enjoy the kenda Sport Challenger tires on my bike..they work nicely, and have a decent tread pattern too.
