KZ 1100 shafty Rims?

The answer to this is probably no but are there any larger rims that fit the rear of an '82 kz 1100 shafty? I would like a bigger tire for the rear. The 19/ 16 combo is hard to find the style tires I want.

There is no chance Guzzi wire wheels will fit?

On a shaft drive you are pretty much stuck with those rims. I would be shocked if you can't find tires that you like. You must not be looking in the right places. Take a look at this. They are the only tires I run now since I was turned on to them in 1979. I doubt any other company has a better selection, in price, stile, and size.

I can find tires I just wanted a different look. The difference in rim height may look weird and I wanted to make the bike like this.



Althought this one has touring style tires.

I might just get the IRC Gs-11's. They don`t look that bad. If not I can get the retro Firestones like the last pic.





I love these Wrench Monkey bikes.

Did Kawi make a mag wheel in 17" for the front? I`m going to change the forks out anyway so if the axel, brake set up is different, or only uses one rotor, its not a huge deal.
