Tire Size for 82' 1100E

Time for new rubber, I was probably going to go with Bridgestone Battlax again.. Would a 130/90B17 fit in the rear?

How much tire can I safely fit in the rear without clearance issues? Anybody try this?

A 130/90 is the choice for a bike that size. And i think you meant V not B when you typed. Be no clearance issues at all. Run a 100/90 x 19 on the front . Im sure you already are.
 
My '82 1100e has a Bridgestone "Spitfire 11R" 130/90-17 on the rear. No clearance or any other issues that I'm aware of.
 
thanks guys, the tire on the rear of it now is rather small so im sure it will look better with the 130/90 on it..

Has anybody tried Pirelli Sport Demon tires??

Yes, lots of us. They're FANTASTIC. But they don't last very long.

Avon RoadRiders will last about twice as long and give you 99.99% of the grip. The Avons steer a bit lighter too.

I have been through a few set of Avon's and like tham very much. I got 14000kms (8400 miles) out of the last ones one my 1100. When I went to replace them the sixe I wanted was out of stock so I always wanted to try the Demons. Glad I did. Awesome tires! I don't care if they don't last as long as the Avons as I have a new bike to put the miles on.
My 750 will be switched over to Demons when ready too.:)
