    18" gs wheels

    I've been reading all kinds of posts by you guys but still cant get a straight answer. so for i looked up the fiche cards and correct me if im wrong but the gs750 18" rear wheel will fit just about anything I was looking not nessisarily a wider back tire but a taller one to go for more of that cafe style bike... so for you guys looking to do a inexpensive wheels swap and dont mind a tire oh lets say 130 ish on the back, perfect solution

    Most or maybe all the 18" rear wheels are 2.15" wide which means you should limit your tire to a 120. To run a 130, you need a wheel at least 2.5" wide.

      if you want taller, get a larger offset number. I'm not totally sure how much taller you're going to be able to get though. bike tires aren't as diverse as car tires.


      you might try putting a ton more pressure in the tires instead!! lol JK

        thanks guys i'll keep that in mind. I was at a local motorcycle show this past weekend and saw some harley with 19" wheels front and back not much meat but looked cool it had a custom frame looked kinda like a ducati with a half fairing looked very 70's badass IMO
