LTD 1000 rear tire height

07 Mar 2013 00:45

Does anyone know what the rear tire height is on the LTD 1000? I'm doing a swingarm/wheel conversion, and I need to figure out what size sprockets I need to be close to the same gearing. My original rear wheel and tire are long gone. Thanks.

1980 KZ1000 LTD (MKII Body, 1990 ZX7 Front End and Rear Wheel, GS1100 Swingarm, 1075 Wiseco Kit, STILL not finished!!)
1986 FJ1200 (Home again!)

Im thinking a 16x130/90 would be a pretty common size tire for it.

Am thinking overall tire diameter of rear tire is about the same on LTD and standard model, as is axle height.

May find various tire-related measurements on Dunlop's site, including overall tire diameter, applicable rim widths, etc.

Good Fortune!
