Tires on a cb400f
« on: November 13, 2014, 12:43:49 PM »
Has anyone seen this Pipeburn article about a cb400f with 4.00 tires in the front and 4.50 tires in the rear? I love this look but I'm not sure how they fit those wide tires on the bike. Any ideas?

The real question is why would you want those tires on a 400f?
If it works good, it looks good...

  My antivirus won't let me look at it. I had thought of going up a size but the rims are pretty nice so I doubt I'll change much.
