Greetings again,

Right now I have a 130\90-16 on there but I'm considering buyng...
"Dunlop back tire, D401, 130/90B16 M/C tubeless" from a local seller and would like to know if it will fit on my bike because it has the "B" in it.
The "B" is a speed rating right? Is that okay for this bike?

Also, what other size options do I have?

Thank you,
Dm of mD
 
Speed

Speed

Hey, DM, the Dunlop D401 is a Harley-Davidson series tire and is speed rated at "H" (130MPH). The "B" on the designation stands for "blackwall". It is a good tire for your bike...My bike is essentially the same as yours and I'm running the GT501's (also Dunlop) and have had very good luck with them! :!:
 
I have been using Dunlop's new GT501's now since last year. They replaced the K591 which I used before and I have to tell you I love them! They work great on these older vintage sport bikes.

I now have them on front and back of both my GS1000 and my KZ550.

They rock! I highly recommend this tire for these old jap bikes. And Joe gives them to me for darn near cost :)

It cost me $127.00 to get both of my spoked rims trued/tuned and a new tire on the front and he charged me $234.00 to put new GT501's on both front and back of my KZ550. So I have new shoes on both bikes plus mounting balancing and rim truing all for well under 4 bills. I don't know how he makes any money?
 
Me too

Me too

Me too, Mark...the GT501's are the best tires I've ever used although I think all the Dunlops are quite good. :wink:
 
Okay, thanks. I'm taking notes. I will buy Dunlop GT501's when the rubber I just bought runs out. I'll have enough money for a new one by then lol... :lol:
