Topic: Tires on CB750K

[wernwilk]

I am replacing the tires on my 1978 CB 750 K and went ahead and ordered some Dunlop D404's from Bike Bandit.  The tires are the correct size and look a good model, however when I received them i checked to see if they were tubed or tubeless..(I know something i should have done when ordering, schoolboy error)..

They are indeed tubeless but the spoked wheels on the CB use tubes....I looked at the old tires on there and they are both tubeless types also even though tubes are fitted to the bike.

Would it be a huge issue if I fitted the tubeless tires with tubes to my bike?

If there are any implications, what are they?

thanks all.

No problem, get some new tubes and rim straps and you'll be good to go...Larry

Actually most of us run tubes in tubeless tires. It does lower the speed rating a bit. The rating would still be higher than these things can go anyway. Get good natural rubber tubes like Metzler.
