The front wheels were 1.85, the rear 2.15. This makes sense now as for all this time I thought it was 2.15F and 2.50R. I knew a 120/90 tire never fit or looked right on the rear but they were rated OK on a 2.50 rim. Well *not* rated for use on a 2.15 where I've been fitting them. A KZ400 would have a 2.15x18 rear wheel also I'm betting, so the wheel size is quickly working it's way down. Down from 3.5 to 2.15 currently. :)
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

It will probably change next week when the rim shows up. :laugh: I should probably hold off buying a tire uptil I get the rim.. :laugh:
