OK Kids,

Any info on finding a drag-racing slick for a KZ1000 LTD?

Got a customer sniffin' around for a source. My initial search yielded nothing but MONSTER tires in the 16" range.
29" wide w/ 10" sidewalls, etc.

I just want to find a 5.10 - 16 slick!

Is that sooooo wroooong?:woohoo:

Bakes <><

the only tires that are made in the 5-5.5" inch range are 18" you will have to change rim's, in the past i have used stock kawi 18"spoke it is abit to narrow but you can buy after market 3.5 or 4.25" rims from buccanans goodyear makes 2 different compounds and micky thompson makes 1 5.5/18" nobody is making 16" slicks for bikes anymore

I know there is a slick made that would fit that rim but couldn't say who makes it but I'd go with what Plummen said. He's never been wrong before...has he? LOL

1980 LTD (changed over the years), 1979 LTD (being rebuilt), 1977 KZ turbo and various KZ's in various states of build. KLX110

cool when did m&h get back in business they haven't been around for years. in case you don't know if you do run a slick on your customers bike make sure it has a welded crank as the extra hook can cause the flywheels to shift if not welded.
