I've not bought motorcycle tires since 1995 so please check my math.
Here's what I'm looking at in the attachment.

I'm buying another one of these tomorrow.

I'm asking more about the sizes, want to make sure I order what will fit.

100/90 up front. 120/90 rear.

No - 120 rear is too narrow. 130 rear is correct. The sizes you show in the image with the Pirelli Sport Demons should be correct according to the conversion charts - please see info below. The only recommendation I would make is that you consider using Metzeler tubes if you can get them in the correct sizes for your tires. When I installed Pirelli Sport Demon tires I contacted Pirelli and asked what tubes I should use since Pirelli did not offer tubes in my sizes. Pirelli recommended Metzeler tubes. Granted, Metzeler is a Pirelli sister company, but I bought their tubes and they are very high quality. Ed

The first link below shows tire size conversions.

The second link below is the diagram for the 1980 KZ1000-G1 which shows the original front tire size (part marked #19). Its size is listed as "350-19GT RWL | ML90-90 " Notice on the first link that width equates to a 100/90.

The third link below is the diagram for the 1980 KZ1000-G1 which shows the original rear tire size (part marked #24). Its size is listed as "510-16AT RWL | MT90-16T" Notice in the first link that equates to a 130/90-16. Ed

It still has the oem goodyear eagles on it, "gt" in the back "at" in the front.
measuring the rear tire it's about 5.25 inches wide but pretty low profile.

What are the markings on the tire?
