    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Dunlop doesn't make the original tire size in the Elite II anymore, will a 130/90 17 fit? Also known as MT90 17. This tire is apparently 10 centimeters wider.

Thanks,
Dan.

Right--its hard to find the original size. I just ordered a 130/70 Dunlop for mine since that's what it had on it when I bought it. All the tire people I've talked with say its no big deal. Front tires are a lot easier.

Its not 10 centimeters bigger though! That would be WAY to big! :-D

As a previous owner of a 79 GS850 G and a current owner of a GS850GL and GS1000G, That 130/90-17 is and has been the size tire that goes on the back wheel, It will fit just fine. I have a 130/90-17's on my 2 G models right now.
