Rear Tire Width on 81 CB650 with spoked wheels
« on: March 24, 2020, 12:38:40 PM »
Trying to order up some tires for my 81 CB 650 rebuild. Does anybody know the max width tire you can put on this bike with spoked 17 inch rim?

The max you can fit and the max you should fit are different numbers. Stock was a 4.5", which is a pretty wide tire, an inch or more wider than the stock sizes on most other SOHC4's.

This bike came with a  120x90-17 for the rear tire. I'm wondering if i can go up to a 130X90-19?
More selection of tires.
