I curently have a 4.50-18 on the rear of my 77 kz 750 twin! I was wondering if anyone could help me transfer it over to a newer metric size?

The metric size of a 4.50-18 would be 120/90-18 I believe. I'm not 100% sure but I believe that's right. :P

Yeah, that's a skinny rim on the back of the 750 twins, I don't think I would go any larger than a 120/18.

For some reason, every 750 twin (running) that I have had so far had 130/90/16 on the rear.

My 79 had Morris Mags with a 16" rear, and 80-83 have 16" rears stock.
