17" front tire on a drag bike
« on: March 02, 2014, 12:45:27 pm »
 I noticed one of my hoosier 17" dragster front tires would look awesome on my drag bike project. Was there a small honda that used a 17" front and a disc brake? I've seen cb100 forks on a drag bike so that's been done before.
 They have to be as good as the cheap china tires. Slightly rounded profile but with a slick on the back it isn't taking any fast turns.

An early Honda VFR uses a 16" front tire if you want small. Put a VFR front end on my CBX. Safer than a CB100 front end.
