« on: January 08, 2014, 08:18:22 AM »
Building a cb750 and I've changed the wheel sizes around slightly wm3 x 18 at the front and wm4 x 18 at the back just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on brands and the best sizes to have on these rims

I think if you use the search finction at the top right corner you will find many tyre threads (I would use the America spelling for the most results) that will offer opinions for the rear.

The 18" front is less common on the 750, but I think you will find options.

What kind of bike are you setting up? Cafe, tracker, bobber, mostly stock? The look and performance you are going for will have a big influence on what recommendations you will get.

Was going to be a cr750 replica but I don't have the funds to be going that deep into something. I have the tanks and the wheels but it will probably end up being a cafe racer type bike now
