What are front and back different sizes? Can you not run the same size front and back or do you have a wider tyre on front to give more front grip?  Sorry for all the questions just trying to get back into riding.

fat tyre on front was generaly for racing, but 2 slim ones are the ones you need (20x1.175). they look a lot sexier too, than 2 fat tyres, awesome looking bike, were did you get it, and hope you dont mind me asking, how much? :daumenhoch:

You wont go far wrong with a pair of Primo V monsters

They do amberwall ones for that retro look...  :daumenhoch:

awesome looking bike, were did you get it, and hope you dont mind me asking, how much? :daumenhoch:
Hi guys, it was mine :smitten:

Matt, why not buy the 2.125" off ebay and take the 1.75" Compe ST off Rhys, the bike will look amazing. You've got to keep the amberwall look to it or it just won't look right mate :daumenhoch: Order one of these cheap stems at the same time for the Aero Burner mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-RUPTION-RDX-1-QUILL-STEM-SILVER_W0QQitemZ140180120337QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140180120337&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I still ride a fat front and thin rear on ramps for that extra chance of grip when you land again....... >:D

Spen

ps - hiya Rhys, how's the Motomag looking these days? I still have to get me a white one done sometime as I haven't had one yet..... :D
Still limping......
