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.

Forum Newbie
Hi everyone,

New to the forum here and have a question about tire selection. I picked up an 1982 GS400 for a steal ( i swapped it for a mountain bike) i had bikes growing up ( 48 now) but never did any major custom work. Ive decided to build a brat style cafe racer out of this bike. I have stripped it down and done some fab work f( i think i will post this progress in another forum section though..im thinking about tires and have a quick question about the rear tire, i want to use the tire below in the link but i am having trouble finding the specified rear tire a 3.50 - 18, my question is can i install the tire below? this is a 4.00-18?

any help would be great !

cheers,​

You can run a 4.00 or 110. That linked Avon is crazy expensive. I'd do a hard pass on that. Get some Shinko's, and save a bunch of money. Tubeless tires are fine, just use a tube inside.
