Tire's

[trent]

I bought this 81 1100 that had the frame chop a bit to lower it and rake the front end out a bit?
Not a lot of difference from stock, this is my 2nd 1100 I have bought? They drag race the bike?

My problem is I put new tires on and the new tires on it now sit a little taller and I don't like the way the bike sits.
Old tire's were dunlops and I don't know what they were, bike shop disposed of them!
I didn't think they were low profile or anything?

Anyone have any suggestions on what tire or how I can get size I want???

Good luck with that question? It's been ask before, I last bought some maxxis tire's and they set up higher than my dunlop's.

I think the dunlop's were a d401 or something, good luck cause motorcycle shop weren't much help with me on that !!!

Thanks, sure that will help a lot.

Bad thing is the guy at motorcycle shop said that new tire's would be so close to other tire I wouldn't notice....well I did.

I will try to go for a lower aspecy rating and will probably get tire's from dennis kirk,had good kuck with them on other items,thanks
