I screwed up.front tire 75 Z1B was created by luc
I made a mistake and ordered a Metzeler lazertec in 3.50x19 instead of a 3.25
It seems to be plenty of room to mount it but i worry about the wheel being to narrow for it and having weird handling.
What do you think?

watch the clearance inside your fender.skipper76 did the same thing on his 900 and required a bit of carefull massaging the lip inside the fender with a wooden dowel to roll it over a little to allow for clearance as the tire warmed up.B)

Still recovering,some days are better than others.

don't panic it will all work out it is only 1/4 of an inch wider so an extra 1/8th on each side and actually less if you figure in the curvature of the tire when installed.

Most guys run a 100/90-19 on the front that is close to a 3.50 in width and never a problem. I applaud you for wanting to run inch size tires instead of the metrics, much better choice.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
