    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.

the front tire says 3.25 19, the rear says 120/90/17. are these the right tires for this bike? If not what size should I be ordering. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful as to what size tires I should buy. I am really kind of at a loss here.
 
Check the web.

The front is one of the "older" style sizes. Your rear has a more modern sizing (and probably a higher technology tire

Here is a list I googled
 
Your L has a 17" rear tire? :-k

Look at the width of the WHEEL, not just the tire.
If the rear wheel is a 2.50, you can install a 130/90-17.
Stick with a 100/90-19 on the front.
 
Yes my L has a 17 inch rear wheel. That's one thing that was throwing me off. Here is a picture of the tire on it. You will see why I need new tires.IMG_1597.jpg
