Help with tires on 1983 KZ750N Spectre

undefined I have a custom KZ750 Spectre. I need new tires and I want to change the look. I want to put Kenda Big block tires on it. I want to put a 140/90-16 in the rear. Will it fit? I know the original size is 130/90-16. What is the diameter of inside of the swingarm?

Thanks!!

I'm wondering the same thing... I measured mind and think it will fit, but haven't done it yet. Will keep an eye on that post. I saw a bike with 150/80/16.

On a different matter, What jets do you have and how does it run with the pods?

Thx

I don’t remember actually. But next time I have the carbs off I’ll let you know.

It runs fine though! And running true K&N or knock off brand?

I already bought the 140/90-16 so technically I’ll let you know if they fit once I get them.

It runs great. Pulls very hard. No hesitation. They’re a knock off brand. Made exactly like k&n but a different brand.

Ok, thank you. I saw them at 4into1 and was wondering how they were performing.

If you look at my previous threads I mentioned what brand they are. Go take a look.
