    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.

hi yall,
I am not having any luck finding rubber for my 450T '81 the rear tire is 110/90-17 60s. all my searches on tire sites are not finding a fit.

suggestions are welcome, actually needed, well tell me where or what I should be doing to find rubber. thank you
 
There's rubber out there. Try here as one place to find them. You may have to look for the inch equivalent, which would be a 3.75 to 4.00 by 17" tire.

you can get dunlop d404's in 120/90-17 - not a lot wider, someone here should be able to tell you if it will fit.
 
Are you sure a PO hasn't mounted a front tire on your rear wheel? That's my guess. I too have never found a 110/90-17 rear tire. Hard enough finding a 120/90-17. Which is my guess as to what your bike requires. I'm clueless about that 60s notation, tho'.

Not much is available in the 120/90-17 rear size but they include:
Cheng Shin Marquis
IRC 310 series Durotour
A Bridgestone model but I'm not sure of the name/model
 
The GS450T does indeed come with a 110/90-17 tire on the rear. The front is 90/90-19.
 
thanks

thanks

Guys
Just as suspected, what we have here is OE tire. Scarry, I have gone over it literally with a magnifying glass and found no issues. Gonna change f and r to new rubber.

BTW had to change R/R to SH-232 after two episodes of replacing the igniter.

Thanks for the support and great info on this site.

My GS will run forever
 
I'll be. I knew Bridgestone made a 120 but not a 110, Battle Ax series, gonna have to remember that.

Now gwascom 8-[, make sure to save all the old original air to put in the new tire to keep the ol' 450 as original as possible. :lol:
